Thanks for that.
Speedo cable was applying a little sideways pressure on the speedo.
Rerouted cable and now ok.
I never knew they were that sensitive.

nopdog

Not sure if it's original but from MY 1967 B44 Victor Special.
It's marked as SSM 5001/05-1000
I like it that it reads 150mph. In your dreams maybe.

nopdog

At great expense I've just had the original speedo rebuilt on the 1967 B44 Victor. It now oscillates up and down about 20 miles an hour. I've had Tacho's and Speedo's rebuilt by this company before without any problems. So before I make a fool of myself and complain to the company that rebuilt it I ...

Thanks for that.
Sounds like a date.
It's all been postponed till next year.
So I'll keep in touch.

All good Gerry. I've been going through unread posts. Less than 200 to go and had some good laughs. But. Was due to go to the Isle of Man this year with a bit of extra travel thrown in, for about six weeks in total. Everything has been cancelled, the dollars tanked. It's costing a fortune to get par...

Hi fellow members. It would be good to know what spark plugs everyone is using in their B25's, B44's and B50's. With points or electronic ignitions. I'm currently using NGK BR8ES in both the B44 and B50 (Electronic ignition on both. I'm thinking of changing to a BR7ES. Trevor (BSA_WM20) indicated th...

DELETE!!!!

I've been reading unread posts and that is the funniest yet.
As MM said LMFAO.

Hi Jeff
I'm running the Boyer electronic ignition.
NGK BR8ES Spark plugs (same as my B50)
I just bought some new BP8ES as per the manual but then they would be for the energy transfer system. I haven't used them yet. Waiting for the new coil.
What plugs would you recommend.

Simon

nopdog

Yes Thanks for that information. I've put electronic ignition on it. Don't know about the cam. The coil that failed was not the original one but a cylinder type one. I have a small box of old coils that appear to be pre Ming Dynasty. (all bad, should bin but who doesn't hoard these days) The bike ha...

nopdog

First up electronics is not my best point. Some would say I don't have one, but here goes. I've had this 67 B44 round barrel for a number of years and some months ago decided to put some serious miles on it as it's such a fun bike to ride. Originally it ran an energy transfer system. Someone, before...

I'm thinking of putting a breather pipe on the primary side of my B44 same as the B50.
Like to know what the forum members think.
Is it a good idea etc.
Thanks
Simon

My 1967 441 is running very well. Except the primary case and engine case are out of true. They do not mate together properly. The primary case when laid on a piece of glass rocks from side to side only slightly but against the engine casing it rocks about an 1/8 inch. Is there an easy fix to seal t...

nopdog

Thanks

Hi Gents
Is the engine sprocket and clutch hub sprocket interchangeable between the B50 and the B44.

Thanks

nopdog

I've just been reading Ubert767 post and my oil leak could be coming from the primary side as the oil is black even after a complete oil change. Any one know what the part no is for the oil seal on the clutch backing plate. It is listed in the spare part books of both the 441 and B50 but with no num...

nopdog

Hi gents. My 67 Victor has developed a nice oil river coming from the gear box oil seal I think. Doesn't leak much at rest(overnight) but go for a ride, stop and the oil is pissing out and then stops after a short while. Bike's been parked in the corner of the shed for the last 2 years and have deci...

nopdog

Yep!!! That's pretty darn funny!!!!

nopdog

Wow Beat.
How good does that look.
Have you named it yet.

How about. The Beat Machine.
Or, Machine Beat.

You've got to be kidding.
The shit I've got in my shed!!!!!!!.
I'm rich who wants to help me spend it.

nopdog

Hey Beat
Sounds like your working for MY wife.

nopdog

Very good bonnietiler.
You tell a good yarn.
And I think, we would all agree that when all is well there is something about these bikes that make you feel like " your on top of the world"
Sorry James Cagney for butchering your line!!

nopdog

Question. How many bikes do you need?
Answer. Just one more.

I took one of the B50's out for about a three hour ride the other day, first time in months. It's still my favorite bike.

I purchased this a few months ago. 2014 Commando Sport only had 1600km on the clock. Cost phew a lot and have just put about $800 worth of upgrades to make it better. Go figure. I still have my three BSA's and my Jucati. Thought about selling one or two to fund the Norton but couldn't decide so at t...

And there was I thinking, wait till I get this on the forum, stop the presses hold the phone, eureka, good thing I've got photographic evidence. Oh well.

Hi Beat Over the Easter holidays I was at the Broadford Classic Bike Bonanza in Victoria and what did I see?

Your a champion.

But is there any danger of damage to the engine.

Hi Guys
Is it ok to run an advance retard unit 5 deg in a B50 SS. I have read on the site that 15 deg was standard for the B50 SS and the 5 deg was for energy transfer systems.

Would there be a downside to running the 5 deg in the standard setup.
Thanks
Simon

nopdog

Mine all have some wobble. Buy one of Marks or EdV's splined shaft and clutch setups. I have invested in this on one B50 SS wow what a difference they make.

Simon

Thanks Koncretekid. I have been away and was just about to reply after being amazed how far off the original topic my poor hole in my poor piston had evolved to. But then again the darwin theory raises its head in the weirdest places. Thankyou for returning it to its original form of the exhaust val...

nopdog

Thanks B50ers all good stuff.
New piston in.
Main jet 240
Plug NGK B8ES
Timing correct.
Fired on 2nd kick.
So far so good.
Simon

nopdog

As promised here are a few pictures of the piston with it's er rather largish hole.

Simon

Hey Nambo,
That is a stunning looking bike.

nopdog

Wow is that snow? maybe all posts should start with a weather report. Here at the moment it is 11.30 am sunny no wind and about 20 degrees Celsius. Great day for riding.
Simon

nopdog

Barry do you ride your B50 around in Sydney. That would scare the sh t out of me with all the crazy drivers. No one seems to use their indicators anymore.

nopdog

I am sure that there would be heaps of members keen to acquire a set or two. I will

Hi Barry Your neck of the woods. Or south of. Bawley Point. Much smaller house but plenty of room for bikes and workshop. I still have my business in the Blue Mountains and have bought someone in as a partner so won't have to spend so much time trying to make a dollar. All going well I can do the re...

Sorry fellows no photo's yet. I have had to pack everything away. We have sold the home I have lived in for the last 20 years. Yes the kids are all gone. Just the wife and I left.
