Hi All. There is a Mikuni VM 28 carburettor on e-bay. Almost new and bought for an Arrow but now not required. Does anyone have any experience of fitting this carburettor to an Arrow SS? The question really is, is it worth spending money for very little improvement on a good running SS with a 376 ca...

We had a good ride on new years day, where was everybody. No forum entries this year???!!!

I have two speedometers. a 0 to 80 and a 0 to 100 both just rebuilt and tested with 12 month warranty by Speedo Repairs Aldershot. He advertises in OBM and Classic bike magazines. I have no preference as to which one I fit to my project Arrow but need to sell one to recover the cost of one refurbish...

It would have to be a good offer Bob. Just the Suzuki TLS front brake took many hours of work. Not fussed about which speedo to fit though.

I now have a 0-80 and a 0-100 speedometer both reconditioned, tested and with a 10 & 12 month warranty from a UK speedo restoration firm that advertises in Old Bike Mart.

Hi Brian & Roger. Thanks for your replies. Sadly I will not be at Stafford due to a 70th birthday party I should attend. I have sent an e-mail to Brian which I hope he will be able to talk to you about at Stafford.
Thanks and regards, Terry.

In this months Cheval under the Lancs report (pages 13 & 14) there was a mention of two electric start conversions fitted to two Arrows. I would really like to convert my Arrow to electric start and suspect I am not alone on this. Can the owners of these conversions provide the details to enable...

Pleased to report the "jerking" has been fixed. I replaced the two gears mentioned above, the layshaft bush which when compared to a new one was worn and the layshaft selector fork which had some wear as well. Only got about five miles road test today but very pleased with the result. I al...

I have now stripped the gearbox. The only wear found is on the 2nd and 3rd layshaft gears T818 & T821. The engaging teeth and dogs have the edges worn away. When assembled on the bench it can be seen that the selector fork was not pushing the gears fully together. As an experiment I put a 1.5mm ...

Hi Brian. There is no noticeable difference in the engine or gearbox in 2nd gear. The jerking happens at all revs in second gear. I held 2nd gear and accelerated up the rev range, the jerking was there until I changed up to 3rd. A friend who also rides Arrows had a thorough check of all the gears an...
