Hello,

I have running gear from a mid seventies Bonnie that i'm trying to incorporate into a Triton build. I have the front end figured out using the disc brakes set up I already have but now i'm wondering if the hub I have also with disc and sprocket will work in a standard slimline Swingarm. Has anyone tried this?

Thank you!

    When I step on the rear brake pedal the engine stops. Tomorrow I will start tracing down the wiring. I suspect, and hope, it is at the switch. Has anyone experienced this problem? Maybe I can cut to the chase. Thank you, Steve

    Classic, Vintage & Veteran
    Good afternoon to all. The last time I rode the cub it kept cutting out. It would kick start again and then after a few miles cut out again. So I have now over the last few weeks changed all the electric connections to soldered ones as opposed to bullet type. I have also stripped down the fuel...

  6. One cylinder not firing - choke or throttle cable likely culprit?

    Hi all, Finally a warm enough day here for me to fire up the 77 bonnie for the first time in a few months and try out some of the repairs and tweaks I've done. After a few kicks, bike fired up, ran very rough, then died. I did a few quick tests and determined the left cylinder is not firing. I...
