Re: /2 Specialty Tools

modify the holes on my transmission flange puller to get the screws to thread. I also had to modify the transmission flange puller to get the screws to thread. The holes were in the wrong location. But I'm not complaining, his all-in-one tool works great. Similar to what I've heard a lot of old-tim...

Re: 1965 R60/2 Overhaul

I have a 1965 R60/2, and did an overhaul. Few comments. - I have bought a few Cycleworks tools, and they have always arrived. The TRANSMISSION OUTPUT FLANGE HOLDER/PULLER tool came with the holes a little off, and he made it right. He sent a new one, no charge. - Why are you rebuilding your transmis...

Re: Suggestion's for R69s tires

The 100/90 corresponds to 3.50 Sort of! It is supposedly 100mm with which is close to 4.00 inches. Plus the tire is lower profile, ie 90% of the width represents the height. 3.50x18 tire is a "perfectly" round profile. YMMV! I stand corrected. It is not an exact duplicate. But the Avon Ro...

Re: This is why you need to clean/change your slingers!

Echoing Vech, I have used https://www.millennium-tech.net/ They were very communicative, timely and reasonably priced. I had them bore and silicon coat my cylinders. They paint the outsides very nicely as well. I don't know if they are powdercoated. On a cynical note, I have to take their word they ...

Re: Trying to remove pressure plate slotted screws with engine in place.

Don't know if this will be helpful to you, but the last time I replaced the clutch disc, it was very hard to pull and couldn't be adjusted. I thought I put in the wrong disc, replaced the whole assembly, but long story short, it turned out the clutch cable was pinched between the frame and engine.
