I purchased one on e-bay from the states about a year ago , The only one I have ever seen for sale . Luckily I only needed the one , but it was a fraction smaller than my originals . I was only missing one side of one plate and when I compared them you could see the size difference , luckily it...

We have the same wemoto in oz and they dont sell original parts . I did my F2 brakes and masters with their kits . I got all stainless pistons and nipples , The only trouble I had was the front master seal swelled after 2 years of being rebuilt but not installed and bled . Had to get a new seal...

It`s personal choice , I got one brand new in 1978 and it was black , so I got another black one . Yours was red , so maybe keep that colour , but it is all up to you . Just dont do what I did to my original bikes paint

Grewth , F3`s had the lower tailight , marcin`s bike must be what you would call a very late F2

It would have either been red or black or blue , I believe

Was going to suggest that type of stripping/capping . It may not look exact to a purist , but it will look good enough which is the aussie way . I had similar on my laverda`s jota fairing , it works well , and I was going to use it if my old trim wasnt reusable . But it was , phew , the seat had...

Just saw a post on bookface about someone who restores seats . It is " bobs general service " you might have some luck with that

Possibly , but I wouldnt want that bike again . The shop I bought it brand new from wrecked it and it seized a cam after they had to change the valve guides because they failed within 3 mths of purchase . Would love my 1977 1200 laverda that I had for 24 yrs , back . Sold it in 2003 for $5000...

Grewth , yes they are meant to go right across , front to back along the bottom edge of the seat , Mine came cut off and uneven with a different seat cover that was crap . I had an original F2 in the 70`s , brand new . Wish I could have kept it

When I rebuilt my bike , I bought new floats and did not notice that they were slightly different . I couldnt get the right height and didnt notice untill I compared the old with the new . There was a step in the new float arm and not in the old . The seller when asked about this said " oh they...

I tried to find some for a while when doing mine . No luck what so ever , so good luck with that . Like grewth said , try a wrecker/breaker and see if you can get some good old ones . David silver may have some or CMSNL . If you get some the colour strip is only a stick on pinstripe , so you can...

Tdubsy 14.5 is the correct height . If the pic shows 17.5 then that is way too much , the level should be below the float bowl join

The axle is 18mm and the caliper bracket is 27-8mm wide , the brake stay arm has a 6mm bolt . I`m sorry but I cannot get an accurate centre to centre of the axle to brake piston and the disc offset and diametre

If you could get a hold of the spacer/carrier for the caliper you could find out . The F1 is one piece , yeah ? and the F2 is two pieces . I could have a look at mine for you tomorrow and get some measurements . I think the axle should be the same diametre , but who knows . and if the discs and...

The pic shows that it has a squared off design , unlike the earlier bullet style . Your part number is correct and when you search , it does show that type of spring . The pic shows that it is pulled really tight and none of the rings are touching , maybe it is meant to be tight as , like the...

No eggspurt , but I think this is late and this an early model .

Given you have changed and cleaned most of it , have you checked the valve clearences ? Then I would try a leakdown test , you may have a bad valve . 137psi isnt bad , but it could be better , what were the other cylinders ?

Having to use the choke to run is a sure sign of a clogged pilot circut . You are going to have to strip and clean your carbs . Were they left with fuel in them for that year ?

The twin disc should have the larger 17mm piston , if it is a 14 that is for a single disc . You could need to bleed them , but if you have it may be time to fit a new seal kit

Wow , I went there right after I read your post . I always thought the internet was crap in australia , but now I know it is outdated aswell . I got an all balls kit for my DRZ a while ago , maybe they do one for the honda

David silver has one for 15 pound

Yes , that is how they are set up for america . You have the 2 blinker running lights and headlight on fulltime . And as they are only a very low wattage , I could see how they would look very dim .

I never got to see them . When I got my bike I stripped it almost right away to restore it and rewired it aussie style ( no running light in the blinker ) But they are a 3 watt bulb on a very old bike and the reflector could be a bit second hand

Grewth , it`s a pity I live down under , you could have mine . My pipes were very badly rusted at the head , so I put a delkevic 4 into 1 on my F2 and it doesnt use the collet style clamps . Much better setup and way less fiddley

I bought an american F2 and wanted aussie switches/lights , so I bought a replica and cannibalised the guts out of my old one as it was much better quality . I think the only test will be time , the originals faded in a certain way . Who knows what these will do , but only a paint can away from new

I recently had to do the same to my F2 . I couldnt justify the price and was recommended these clamps . All I can say is that they work , they look good and they are cheap ( 50 dollaroos as compared to nearly 400 )

They are 3 watts as compared to the blinkers 25 . If you are using incandescent lights , maybe just old . I cannot see my high beam light , even with new bulbs

Due to a biblical amount of rain in my neck of the woods , my bike has been sitting in a hot humid garage for the last 5 mths since my resto , nuts and bolts are starting to show signs of rust . Although I fully stripped and rebuilt it , I reused as much as I could . So I wire wheeled a lot of...

It isnt too hard , but lotsa bits . Take off the tank , remove airbox and then throttle cables . Now you can take off the carbs in one piece . The screws are not phillips heads , they are JIS . If you dont use a JIS screwdriver , you stand a chance of stripping them . Lots of videos of people...

My F2 may sit a bit different due to the footpeg mounts being different to an F1 , but it should be similar
