Well, it's summer here in Maine again so I figured I would get back to work on the Benly. It could be my ADD but I tend to get projects 3/4s of the way done and then move onto the next.
Anyways an update from last summer, I rode the bike in primer a bit and have decided that my tranny/shifting ...

Well it looks good! Im buying my paint tommorow. Plan to use single stage gloss black. Also my first paint job that didnt come out of a rattle can

Thank you for the info.

Looks good to me! Did you color sand the paint and buff?

Bike is looking sweet! Love the blacked out engine.

Couple questions for you. What tires did you go with, cokers? What are you using for a paint gun and compressor?

I'm in the body work stage and have been quoted $400 to $600 to just spray the bike. So im thinking I can buy some tools and spray it ...

Awesome Job on the bike!

How do you like those exhaust pipes? Are they ebay specials from Thailand?

Rode the bike around a few times this weekend focusng on my shifting and it seemed a lttle better, no sure why. It did pop out of second a few times and was hard to put back down in 1st once. Overall I mght live wiith it or keep my eyes peeled for a shift shaft and see what that does. I reallly ...

Per Spokes suggestion I pulled the 14mm bolt and the little bushing was greased and reinstalled on the bolt. I took the bike for its longest test drive since the rebuild, which felt pretty awesome! On the test drive the bike intermittently would slip out of 2nd and I also had a hard time getting it ...

I will use the grease trick tonight, ride, and report back. Thank again!

Spokes, I checked the 14mm bolt and it did no have the collar on it but it was down in the hole. I removed it with a magnet. Any tips for reinstall?

I changed the oil last night and plan to do a little more test riding before I pull it apart. I just want to make sure I have a real issue before ...

Spokes, thank you! I will check that tonight. I really dont want to split the cases again.

Nice Job! Well done!


Did you have your tank side covers rechromed or were you able to find a better set?

Well Satruday I got home from work early and decided it was time to take the Benly for a ride. Everything went great! I cruised along got up to 3 gear and roughly 30mph comfortable. Clutch seems to be good I had installed new discs when I did the rebuild. It did slip out of 2nd gear a few times ...

I'm bringing this thread back from the archives!!! Although last summer I did get the bike running it never really ran good. It would fire up, run for a minute or two, and die. Restarting was next to impossible and I just got frustrated with the bike and retired for the winter under a sheet in the ...

I just ordered the KH-0035 kit from retro bikes. Everthing fit great. I orginally purchased the kh-0042 kit off ebay and the gasket, needle valve, and a few other things were incorrect. I looked at both boxes last night and the kh-0042 kits says its for the c95 model, and the kh-0035 kit says ca95 ...

Wow! Spokes the bike looks awesome. Some good motivation for me. Where did you source your wheels from? Maybe I missed it somwhere in your thread.
