That is a nice picture! I just got my Bombay Bloomers on in readiness to give mine a run after rebuilding the engine with high lift cams and all.
Only to find, that the dynamo isn't charging and the gearbox is spewing grease from the drive end bearing.....Bugger! One step forward and two steps back

That is a really good picture, I can never get a descent photo of a bike at speed, and he really seems to be enjoying himself.

Are you talking about Ron or the other bloke?

I don't know if it's possible to assemble the headlamp upside down without intending to. I'd suspect that the wrong half of the reflector was painted. However, it was quite often wrong. My informal survey of manilla masks with the BEF suggests that the cut-outs were wrong 50% of the time as well.
What picture are you talking about? I can still see the bloke pushing the kids on his Matchless..? I don't think that's a high speed picture.

..'Dynamo not charging'..the three words a Matchless owner least wants to hear ...Ian Hahaha, Ian, "what Dynamo??" with me, that's the black hole of Lucas! no more dynamo's a total and utter waist of time, have 2 LED bulbs now, and not afraid of using it in the dark (still have no car) so battery lasts about a fortnight.
Ron, you must be getting good at it, can you do my gearbox too??
Cheers,

OK chaps this is what I did and why. Firstly the bike was not originally re-built by me. It was not running as it should be. So I had the carb and mag professionally refurbed. But still not enough power and lots of smoke.
So I decided on a top end overhaul. The original cams were in a terrible state, and the only new ones available from "AMC Classic Spares" are the post war high lift cams. When using these cams, a small amount of ally must be removed inside the timing case to allow the followers to drop down further. (I can go into more detail if required and also advice on timing marks)
I had a rebore and used an oversize Hepolite piston which had about 1/4" machined off the bottom to bring it more towards the weight of the original Wellworthy piston. Another mod is to drill a 1/16" hole in the rocker box oil well to reduce the oiling of the exhaust guide. (Again details on request). Ron
Is this the picture you meant Henri? Taken before I fitted the stainless spindle parts Jan made.
