I noticed there is a good aftermarket copy of the late type standard switchgear now available. a new unit from Portugal is around £25
These are of an ST, required a bit of messing but Geoff is all over that. He's upgraded the starting circuit too & probably saved a good 500g on superfluous wiring.
It looks very neat, can the ST fast idle lever work the choke? And on a separate matter, as I've put a deposit down on a Scrambler I'll be putting my Fant up for sale soon. I'll be very sad to see it go, it's the bike I broke my mileage record on, 940 miles back from Rimini after WDW last year. I'd rather it went to someone here, but if not it'll be o ebay soon :-(
thats a shame, I hope you have some radical plans for the scrambler? I was so excited about it but a bit underwhelmed. That's the hope with the ST switch gear. The chokes lined up to the fast idle and it looks like it draws far enough.
That choke will be a great improvement to the std fully on/fully off arrangement Matt. I ended up modifying my 900 one as a screaming engine from cold wasn't good in the winter.
I'm hoping, it's got a brand new pair of Mikunis on it too so it's going to be a challenge firing it up for the first one.
Lovely, you can't beat the luxury of a brand New pair of Carpi Raiders. Fitted a pair to my last 900 and it was a great relief to think that I wouldn't have to strip them for A few years
There is an E 900 for sale in Ireland on gumtree for only £500… You'll have to be quick though I reckon
Wow, bargain for someone. Id be tempted were it not for the same money to go pick it up before it's even begun to be recommissioned.
Now sold - had a punt myself taking delivery charge into account, but someone offered the full 500 nice bloke by all accounts. The low mileage 750 I chased last year ended way up in Scotland but I think that's been sold on now again already.

Lovely, I’m afraid I sold my blue 750. Still have the pantah 750 fant engine in a box along with most of it but am resigned to the fact it’ll need to go. Have done a deal on a modern “elefant” and am picking up a 1200s Multi tomorrow.
