Rasta Ratskins
To look at and to ride. Not so good was the constant repairing everything.Originally Posted by Crasherfromwayback
At 32,000km mine had starter clutch issues, buggered valve guides and hard chrome on the valve closer arms, stripped bolts in the cush drive, rusted out mufflers, and was in need of repaint cos of initial quality.
However I loved the sound from the Staintune Conti replacements and it was a nice bike to ride on the open road.
Another big plus was the massive forearm muscles on your left arm from the clutch, the cable of which was prone to breaking.

I never had that much trouble with the Darmah even at the 84rwhp stage.
Cush drive yes,spigoted fixed that,a regulator,a sprag clutch....
It never missed a beat when on leaded fuel,not even needing a valve adjustment in one 20000 km period.... then unleaded fuel came out then valve seat and oil ring 'drama's.
Still have it after 31 years + a 77 model and the 73 GT.

Not much to drool over Mike.
I (In hindsight) was never much in to taking pictures of my own bikes,I have none of the 77 SD,one perhaps of he GT and maybe one of the 81 SD,( on the PC with the bikes back in NZ) even when it was in the 'City of Sails bike show in the mid 1990's I never took a picture of it,didn't even think of it.
Even the picture of the Sunbeam S7 is from the previous owner,14 years of TL1000's and maybe four pictures of the two of them.
My 81 SD was one of the first Vee Two Australia engine builds (NZ wise) I might have been one of the first anywhere to use 41mm FCR's,that was when there was nothing off the shelf.
It seems all things beveldrive twin have become expensive,even Darmahs.
