Project Progress / Re: A DIFFERENT tracker 🙄

It seems to be coming along nicely now Michael.

Any plans for the bodywork, paint scheme or exhaust yet?

Many thanks for posting up the pics Bill👍
Hopefully they give a little bit more of an indication as to what the finished bike will generally look like. I’m really enjoying riding the standard RS that I bought off Kevin last year, in fact so much so that I’ve already put 600 miles on it since I swapped the engine for the fully rebuilt one. Another couple of hundred miles and I’m going to drop the oil and change it. I can feel it starting to free up a bit now, but still only using approximately half throttle.
I’m looking forward to getting the “250 tracker” finished as I’ll have it set up slightly better, so should be a joy to ride 🤞
Cheers… Michael

3 images of progress with the tracker rebuild from Michael. I hope that the images are OK.

Good health, Bill

To continue your theme Michael I can hear The Mighty Midget whispering 'I'll be back.......'

I might just have a look around at some of those Chinese versions. It would be interesting to see if any of the Chinese GN250 spares also fit the Herald etc. Obviously the valves won't fit as there are only two of them instead of four, but I can't see why other bits shouldn't fit. I have often wondered if a Chinese 2 valve head would fit a GN. Not for any other reason other than curiosity.

...and the second is to fit a new chain as this one has some very rusty links and stiff joints (like me hahaha).

There are quaite a few of the Chinese 250s on ebay, and they seem not to sell well. It might be worth looking at them Ian. Sinnis, Mas as well as Herald. The one I bought had been advertised and didn't sell - I could probably have got it for much less than the £1,000 I paid but felt that was a fair price.

I think the first thing I will do is recolour the seat (black) as it's far too hipsterish for me. I've run out of beard wax......

Hopefully the wiring will be very similar as the GN is a simple bike as is the Herald. I have to say since you took on the Herald I am getting small bike longings again. The Mighty Midget will never be one again, but I saw one advertised for £895 which needed work but I have a spare bike to contribute to the project.

I love riding Sid the Enfield, but there is definitely a joy to be had in the 250 and below class of bikes. Whether I will actually commit any cash or not it is great fun thinking about it.

Go on Ian. To quote the great Arnie in the film predator “do it, do it nooow” (for full effect must be said out loud in an Arnie accent😁)

I've had a quick look and think it covers most of what I may need ie engine stuff. The running gear on the Herald is pretty conventional (apart from USD forks which are new to me). I wonder whether the wiring will be similar, but only time will tell.
