Another RED one.

DAF motorcycle with automatic (variomatic) engine Seen at the DAF Museum, Eindhoven, Holland.

WRONG! Try again. It used to be Wakan. Now it is called another name. Ummm. The name is right on the tank!

OK. It seems hell yea is AWOL.....again. So here is my offering:

All well and good, BUT don't use Locktite on any fasteners that secure the plastic. Kiss the plastic 'good-bye' if you do. Just a recurring reminder.

I think I am pretty good at this, but a little more information and a pic would be useful.:rotf::rotf::rotf:

Correct year and model and here is the original pic:

Nope, sorry. My pictured bike is a 1961 RC1**.

Perhaps the crankcase has been replaced as a part and has no number? Should look like this:

Yes, it is a Honda. No, it is not a 1964. No, it is not a RC114.

I'm curious of the origin of this 'wire', too. Some Dunlop E3 are belted, but not with steel. I take it the cords are showing on the tire and the wire that you see is part of the cord fabric? Somethings not right. There should be no wire fabric or a single piece of wire in that tire. I would keep that tire and present it to Dunlop for their evaluation and warranty.

Don, here is where the engine number can be found.

Don, after reviewing several of your threads concerning this bike and carbs, there could be a couple things that would cause your current issues. When you reassembled the carbs, did you have the carbs on a flat surface plate as you finalized the joining of the four carbs? The alignment of the four individual carbs, especially regarding the linkage, is important when making up the rack. Secondly, you have California carbs. On the California carbs, there is an additional port on the carb with an accompanying hose. This port is located on #2 (left front) carb body above the butterfly. It is similar to the 1983 carb in respects to that port. Whereas on the non California 1983, it is routed to the 'boost sensor' (vacuum advance), in the California version it is routed via hose to the charcoal canister. Perhaps that hose from #2 is disconnected at the other end? That would result in a huge vacuum leak. Thirdly, since your bike had the YICS, perhaps one or more of those hoses and/or the YICS chamber is leaking?

A red racer.

I'm thinking they are Krauser bags. Look at the rear end of the bags and the raised wide rib on the side. Just my guess.

Seems like a lot of weight.

Good idea, but no one seems to be able to find a car tire that fits the First Gen.

Unusual details, to say the least.

Your 'friend' isn't named Mark is he?

You are saying that the three successive pics were taken after spinning the wheel each time? And it ALWAYS ended up with weights at ten o'clock? Doesn't seem very balanced then.

I hope it ain't snowin' there. Snowed here! Flyin' Fool is spreading the 'cheer' in all directions, now.

What's wrong with the tire? Apparently it is still holding air?
