Hello from England, I really love your videos of you and Kevin, and look for your new ones every day. When I am replacing the outer cover on the gearbox, I use one of the casing screws, screw one into the gear change shaft, you can then turn it up or down to locate pin into the whole much easier. I hope that helps, and keep up the good work both of you, Robert from England.
The neighbors a few blocks away that catch Kevin buzzing by on his test rides must think, "man, that guy has a ton of cool vintage motorcycles. How does he have room for all those?"
Fantastic machine those rear sets the only way to ride a Norton and that drum break up front perfect Now to complete the ride remember you're on a Norton wear black Harness Boots not tennis shoes
It is a very lightweight, battery powered tool. It's not like those big air-powered honkers they use at auto repair tire shops. It saves time, and in twenty years has never stripped a case bolt. Seriously. But thanks for writing. Ride Safe! F.
If you had one of those cheap amazon endoscopes that pairs with your phone, could you peak inside that large opening and see if you made it into the hole? I bought one of those years ago and it was the best 25 dollars I've spend in a while.
We cudda, shudda replaced the gasket sealer, but was so happy that the no-shift was a simple fix we just put it back together. The good news is the gasket sealer is anaerobic and still wet and pliable. If I see any leakage from the gasket I will get the (well earned) pleasure of resealing it. Let's hope it seals! F.
These are not big bikes; they have drum brakes (lame) and they are not very powerful. For adults of small to average size and weight, they are a riot to ride. Today's bikes are a much better match for people of normal (or larger) size.
True in all respects. These bikes were the best they could do in the 60's and 70's. And then the Japanese showed up and . . . . well, the rest is history. I love old Brit-Bikes, and the crowds they attract at shows, but our riders have to accept their limitations and ride accordingly. Ride On! Be Safe! Thanks for writing. F.
Sometimes it just takes a heck of a lot of persistence to get things to work out right... and you guys "got 'er done!" Bravo Zulu!
Sweet, sweet, sweet. I loved the rear-sets. Well done, lads.
That is so very cool to see and hear. I hope the owner appreciates the bs&t you put into getting this running.
boy-o, the production value off the charts! 🔥

The close captions translate exhaust noise as music. Which it is in a way.
Only use a drill driver to start self tapping bolts to fix a cows horns back on.
Yeehaw from the UK, glad they aren't my casings.

Besides, we run them in with the tool and do the final tightening by hand.

The kick stand must be over tightened and has a weak spring
Frank's method seems quicker.
Was the gasket cement replaced?
Glad you got her mobile.

@@fjdelmonte I thought euphoria might have kicked in. Hope she stays oil tight as you deserve a break with this particular lady Frank.
You need to be a skinny youth with winkle pickers on for rear sets😅😅😅
I used to be that lad.
