Do thos ramflos fit on the CB performance aircleaner base or do they come with their own base? You're running dells from memory yeah?

Hopefully my sqr will be back on the road within the week - with a Pobjoy 1916 in the back 😵‍💫

hell yeah man! thats sweet! 😎

yeah they actually fit on the CB bases which is really good so i can still use the same linkage. they do come with their own bases also. highly reccomend them man - revs a good 500- 1000 rpm higher now...🥷

hey paul, nah mate unfortunately it hasn't seen much road time at all 😬
the axle tubes have been leaking like crazy and the brakes are shocking among other problems.

Its in at Phoenix engineering at the moment getting the brakes redone - new rear wheel cylinders, rehoned front wheel cylinders, new shoes, etc etc...

not gonna be cheap.. but hopefully they will sort out everything, they also told me the axles were leaking because there were no 'outer axle sleeves' on. so that should fix it 😉

hope you get it sorted soon mate....and yes, you gotta have good brakes, there's no second chances when you run out of 'em!!

what sleeves are they talking about on the axles, is it a seal or something on the end?

all the best mate,

Paul

Make sure you clip the ignition leads into the correct place, Type 3's leads are know for earthing out on the engine cover.

brakes are one thing it doesn't pay to short cut on mate.

at least you will be confident in braking hard if some knucklehead pulls out in front of Miles.👍
