Two Stroke Engine Design and Tuning

Just begun re-reading this book by K G Draper, it’s having the worrying effect of making me feel the need for a two stroke bike…

Honda SL70 Scrambler

Another shameless re-post from MKSIM;

SL70

There are men who like to know they have the biggest. There are also men who do not care, who have confidence in their own performance and do not care about the size of their engine. Todd Hunter is part of a category and exposes her sacred hand dose of good taste . Because when it is cut or city cruiser country roads, a 750 is not essential. This is to my taste, this scrambler is close to perfect.

Mudflap improvisation

Having ridden the honda for a few weeks on the wet and muddy roads of Norfolk I soon discovered that a favourite collecting point for mud is around the front of the swing-arm and the mounting points for the centre stand, an area which is also borderline impossible to clean without removing the back wheel and plastic mud catcher.

As prevention is better than cure I decided to make myself a kind of crude mudflap, formed from a strip of thick rubber which bolts onto the plastic mud catcher. I also used two of the mounting bolts to attach a flat brace to supplement honda’s inadequate “dowel” type lower mounting on the mud catcher.

Definitely not a thing of beauty, but if it proves successful I shall tidy it up at a later date.
