Ah yes, the irrepressible (some may have other descriptions!) Paul Miles. He did a writeup of this bike in Real Classic magazine. I believe he wants to sell it for upwards of £6,000. If only....
I don't have a problem as such with FB just hate it and its whole approach. But I do have a presence albeit with minimal and totally false data.
Moving on with my build, I think I've eventually got the clutch right although won't really know till the work is much progressed. It will turn the engine over on the kickstart without slipping though. And I've also got the swinging arm with its various spacers in place although had to resort to a Spanish Windlass to pull everything in line. All those years in the scouts not altogether wasted.
Also fitted a Kenda 3.50x18 back tyre as the one the bike came with was a 4.00 and almost touching the swinging arm. Shame as it was a new MT34.
I think I'm going to do for a dual output coil fired by the contact breakers after some thought. This will have a wasted spark but will make timing etc easier and will also fit under the tank. I did mislead myself for ages thinking that it wouldn't work with two contact breakers but was put right by someone on the Britbike Triumph forum.
