If you're sure it's the cover that's leaking, you may be able to identify where the problem is by using very thin feeler gauges to trace around the join to see if there are any gaps. As you've identified, generally leaks occur where there are knock/locating pins that are poorly fitted which force th...

CA77 front fork spring length

At the risk of sounding very stupid, I'm hoping someone out there can give me some clarification on the values given in the shop manual in relation to the CA77 front springs. Under the heading B: front cushion the shop manual lists the free length of the standard spring on a C72 (I assume the same v...

Thanks gents. Very helpful. I've managed to get lucky with one but not so much with the other. The CL77, which has 12k miles on it, has a spline that's intact and not cracked. The CA77, on the other hand, has a crack despite only having 4k on it. I'm going off to round out the CL fork end. With no e...

Thanks very much LM - that looks like an excellent recommendation . . . as you say, exactly what I'm talking about. Shame it's a little steep cost-wise (and not available as a Kindle or e-book). I dunno whether it was published this side of the pond, but Amazon lists the hardcover at $80+. Yoinks. I...

Pressed frame sizes and interchangeability

Hello folks I'm wondering whether one/some of you know whether there are any significant differences in the frame dimensions between the CA7- range and the CA9- range of bikes - and/or others in the early/mid-60's Dream range. There are two reasons I'm asking: - I want a single seat for my CA77 and ...

Just saw this. Nicely done . . . and thanks for the tip-off. Quick question(s) - is there anything preventative that can be done to the knuckles to stop them from cracking, or is it something you just sorta pray doesn't happen? I've had a look at one of mine and it's fine; I'll need to pull the othe...
