I am recommissioning the Suzuki TS50 that I have owned from new in 1976, and that I imported to the UK from South Africa in 2009. On the evening of Monday, October 8, 2012 I worked on the switchgear electricals, and removed the handlebars and instrument cluster. I also made a major cock-up. I thought that all four handlebar mounting bolts strewed directly into thread on the yoke. This was the case, but I didn't realise that the front pair also had an additional nut on the bottom of the yoke that secured the intrument cluster mounting bracket. I simply thought that they were super tight and applied spanner pressure, shearing the beautiful old bolts. I managed to get the sheared thread out of the yoke using a second nut tightened to the remaining stub of thread, and ordered replacement NOS bolts from CMS in the Netherlands. Sadly, they're not of the same quality as the 1976 originals, but such is life. I live and learn!

DC-3 visits Triple Tree Aerodrome again!

A powered parachute lifts off from Triple Tree Aerodrome, making the second flight of the morning.

31" from center of axle to top of triple. I estimate the tubes will have to come up out of the triple by 2 3/4" to match the stock CB400F. If I put the clip-ons above the triple there will be about 1 1/2" sticking up above the clip-ons. Probably won't be pretty but it will do for now.

I need to get my Monster sorted out so I can sell it and finance more 400F goodies ;)

2013 Triple Tree Fly-in

Taken by my Dad! DC-3 visits Triple Tree Aerodrome again!

A P-51D from CAF makes a high-speed pass prior to landing at Triple Tree Aerodrome. The Mustang made several flights for paying passengers, always giving the field an elegant pass before landing.

I'll go one of these days.
