I don't believe so. It might of been a Tryan. Someone posted a picture a few months ago, but I don't recall what the discussion was about and I haven't been able to find it in the Search.


Thanks,

Chuck

Bob,

Do you have any of the plain cut side cover left?

Thanks,

How much for the 32mm forks? Do you have fork crowns and axle?

Clutch cable is routed the same as my Berkie and it works smooth. I'll check out the basket and the other things suggested. Thanks for the advice.

Doug,

Glad to hear you're feeling better.

I recently rebuilt a Triumph motor and could not have done it without a video I purchased. Thought it would be great if I could do the same with my Pentons. The Triumpn DVD sells for $42. Could be a nice source of income.

I don't know about others, but I would be willing to pay dearly. Doug could sit back and watch the money flow in.

Ric,
If you decide you don't want the pipe let me know.

Thanks,

Dale,

Don't mean to change the topic, but that's an interesting looking airbox. If you can find the flier or know who the manufacturer is (was), I would appreciate it if you could send it to me.


Thanks,

Thanks Ernie. I would love to go to Combs but just too long of a drive and can't get away right now. Hope to make more of the ISDTs next year.

Ernie, When you refer to bumping compression do you mean advancing the timing a bit.

I heard you and the kid have been riding modern bikes lately. Hope that's going well. I got sick the day before I was to leave for Barber so I wimped out and stayed home. It sounds like it was a good time for all and Christopher is getting rocket fast.

Thanks Kip. Hopefully this will work. A lesson learned in making sure all bolts are tight.


Thanks,

Brian,

Ouch, That hurts. Are you suggesting my Berkie wasn't set up right? You're probably right, I'm not a very good mechanic. I think the 28mm Mikuni might be too big and may try a 26mm.

Even set up correctly, I couldn't begin to stay up with you.

Brian forgot to mention that he is just damn fast too!

I picked a Berkie up a couple of years ago when AHRMA formed the 100cc class. The first race the Hodakas blew me away on the start. However, the Berkie would out perform in the corners. I put on a reed valve with a 28mm Mikuni and it helped out quite a bit on the starts. Although, I still get out motored by some of the tricker Hodakas.

Fun class to ride and easy bikes to ride for us over 50 year olds.
