omg! I have had vibration problems since my rebuild when braking, I replaced everything! brakes/drums/shoes, I had overhauled the streering and box during the build, redid king pins...I was putting the blame on me building the king pins wrongly..i bought new steel wheels thinking the wheels maybe damaged...i even posted here about it....just before I took it on the road after the rebuild I fitted a new set of Ceat white wall tyres....the dam things must be faulty also...!!!! I just decided to live with the vibration....looks like a new set of tyres required!!! thanks for that....

sorry Damon


just checked...their golden tyres..i must have bought a set of ceat for someone else...they never reported any vibrations...but I will be swapping wheels with my other 500 to check

So far it looks like (most bhp is estimated!):

500cc / 22bhp = 68mph (110kph) max, 49mph (80kph) easy
595cc / 23bhp = 62mph max, 55mph easy
Hot 500cc / 24bhp = 60mph
650cc / 23bhp = 65mph, 50mph easy
Hot 650cc / 26bhp = 70mph max
695cc / 35bhp = 60mph? Chris, we can do better than that!

695cc / 35bhp = 60mph? Chris, we can do better than that!

I'll see which direction the wind is blowing tomorrow.

Modesty prevents Chris from telling us he was on holidays and towing a caravan up Mt Kosciuszko at the time....
