You have done a wonderful job on the Beeza. I am going to have to go back and look at all the previous videos now. Can I ask you a question about the thread types used on this year model please? My '64 model thunderbolt had all BSF threads and even though I found some dies and taps to redo some threads (1982), I really wished it had more universally used thread types. What does yours (1971 model?), use? Thank you. I always thought the Thunderbolt the more beatuful of the two models, because the single carb allowed the the shape of the head fins to finish correctly around the back, where the shape is more complete than on the twin carb head. (Incidetally, I have seen 940cc version of an A65 lightening which was road registered, and l believe it delorto pumper carbs. If you would like a photo of it let me know). Jango Reinhart is a nice touch.
Thanks for all the comment, very much appreciated.SRM Engineering did the engine including the modified oil pump a modification, the timing side bush was changed to a roller bearing. Most of the threading is 26tpi cycle thread. There are some still pictures not which episode. Thanks again for the comments. Cheers Brian
Thanks for the comment, I needed to lift the tank a little as it interfered with the plug spanner and made plug removal difficult, just about 8mm. Cheers

After all that work, why bother taking us for a ride?

Good series of videos. I see you used additional rubber on the tank mounts, was the bread bin touching the frame without them?
