Cheers Jon

Thanks Jon, just my observations taken from some of the bikes I've seen. Hope it helps. Lou

I guess I'll just continue on this image gallery. I am starting to clean up the 'new' TT1 I acquired. It's really sort of a barn find in that it hasn't been touched in a long time. One of the things that bothered me at first, was that the fuel tank didn't seem to fit the frame properly. I finally had a chance to remove the tank and found all the issues that need correcting. Firstly it has a single outlet Pingle petcock, in place of the original dual outlet NCR piece. I think I can ream out the 3/8ths NPT bung that was installed and tap it for an 18x1mm male sleeve. This will leave a male thread exposed for the new petcock. Luckily, I had one. Now looking to the rear I can see that they removed the original mounting tab and added an 'elevated' metal and fiberglass tab. WHY! I had this problem with my Harris. The WP shock's reservoir line banjo bolt is on the top of the shock pivot and must have hit the bottom of the tank. Not allowing it to reach the mount. I have the original pulsar shock that I will be reinstalling so I will repair the tank. It also had sticky gasoline varnish around the fuel cap threads, could barely unscrew the cap. Cleaned those up and installed a nos fuel cap, smooth as silk. The bike has all original paint so I am doing my best to preserve this bike as original. Pictures should explain my rambling words. Lou

These pictures illustrate the height at the rear of the tank, good and bad. Lou

Funny how that recess for the shock often seems not deep enough Lou.

Q: Is this a special big-tube (28mm) frame; I see a welded joint where the front of the frame goes to small tubing just past the tank. I know DM does it that way. Most of the time (25mm frames) that is just bent, and the same size, at that point. Like the photo of your red & silver bike.
