Oh, yeah sorry, it's the German classifieds. Ebay-light if you will. Basically have to hope the seller is willing to ship it.
Sourcing one within the UK will be easier for sure

It's faster to break than to repair.

Re: Weaver's 7/11
Took the bike out for a 40 mile run today,motorway,dual carriage way and A roads,must say I enjoyed it its a big old lump but it didn't misbehave at all.Clutch slip was minimal until giving it a handful on the way home when it slipped big time,I have ordered new friction plates to go with the HD springs.Probably going to stick with original but overhauled running gear as I like the period look and don't want to spend a fortune updating to more modern stuff unless someone has something cheap that will go straight in with out too much messing After riding it I would say it does show its age but it certainly has charm and presence and I can understand why people love them.

Re: Weaver's 7/11
I would try the new plates with standard springs first as long as they're within tolerance.

Re: Weaver's 7/11
ok mate why is that? do the HD springs make the clutch action a bit heavy?Nicky Dodds wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 6:23 pmI would try the new plates with standard springs first as long as they're within tolerance.

Re: Weaver's 7/11
Yes they do. I did the plate and HD spring change and after a couple of days went back to original springs. Very uncomfortable. The springs are good for catapulting at magpies. Even though I never hit one they make a hissing noise as they fly through the air.

That seat in Germany , seat in good condition says write up ....it doesn't mention that the foam seems to be altered to suit someone's needs ....it's very level,no pillion hump area.
