    Like the look of these, but was quite surprised to see the angle is locked in. I thought the clamp would be a friction fit type of thing allowing the end use to tweak the angle to their liking. Seems a bit arbitrary. I wonder if 3D printing a stand off washer for the bracket '+' mount would upset the geometry enough to cause stress points..?

    I've got an issue with my fuel taps. Quick question, on your rebuild, you show the two reeds. Do they both fit into a gauze filter in the tank? If I look into my tank, all I can see is a metal gauze. Think the reeds have been fitted the wrong way around on my bike, don't seem to have a reserve :)

    • @WildlifeMoto
      @WildlifeMoto Před 23 dny

    • @WildlifeMoto
      @WildlifeMoto Před 11 dny

      @@RobertSmith-ug4it If the reeds are the wrong way around, wouldn’t your “On” position become your reserve? If you have a fuel line cross over, you can have a make shift “reserve” by running one fuel tap on and the other off. When the open side of the tank runs dry you’ll still have a bit of fuel in the lobe on the closed side. Just turn on the opposite tap and get to a petrol station ASAP. Thanks for the heads up on the Airhead meet. I might head over if a get time. Cheers.

      Yes, the previous owner had it sprayed in homage to the R90s. The R90s, in black and silver, was called the TT and it does look fantastic (on an actual R90S). However, the spray job on my bike was not original / factory paint and not correct for the R100CS. I decided to put it back in black paint (as per its original documentation) and the wheels are just my personal preference.
