Singles / B40 Silencer
« on: 20 May, 2018, 21:57:30 »
Hi.
My 1962 B40 silencer has no packing / sound absorbing material inside it. Apart from a perforated plate near the outlet you can see straight through it. It is certainly loud, and riding down the street attracts lots of attention. Dogs bark, children grab hold of their mothers leg and teenagers look up from their iPhone for a at least a couple of seconds. At first I thought it was a glorious sound, but after a long ride even I'm tiring of it and I'm contemplating packing it with something. Yet, the loud exhaust is definitely a safety feature. Never mind cars puling out in front of you and the lame excuse "Sorry mate, didn't see ya", they hear me coming and don't pull out in front of me.

So, what's your opinion? To pack it or not? And if I do pack it, any suggestions on what and how much to use?

Singles / B40 Front Wheel Removal
« on: 18 February, 2017, 11:36:19 »
Hi Guys.
Sounds like a simple job, but my front hub is stuck fast on the tongue of the fork slider so I cannot get the wheel off. Its a 1962 B40 with the end caps on both n/s and o/s forks. What's the best way of freeing the hub?
Once I get it free I guess I'm going to have to file something down to make sure it fits correctly in future. I presume I would file down the tongue on the slider. Is that the best way?
Thanks, Steve
