    The Bonneville 650 may have been fast, but the Norton handled much better 
and could beat it in races.  Some of them liked to put a 650 engine in a Norton 
frame over there for the races...

actually made a bike that held records for speed at the salt flats! Triumph 
"Bonneville" 650!

                Gee, are cables for that still available ? I haven't checked in 
a long time. Scuffing on the jackets is not a problem. There is a really neat 
method used by the English to lube cables. I can write it out if you want to 
know.

                  hello group....and happy new year to all of you...

                  just wanted to update you on my carb cleaning project...almost
                  finished and ready to reinstall...need to get them in before 
mlk day
                  (jan.18) because i go back to being a full time student on the
                  nineteenth...so with that said...

                  as of today I have them set out in an upright position with a 
fuel
                  supply, checking for leaks...as suggested by Dennis....

                  internally, i have done all the necessary cleaning, 
unclogging and
                  deglazing and they are looking pretty sparkly and shiny...on 
the
                  inside....

                  the external housing is a different matter though...there are 
a lot of
                  little crooks and crevices that I just can't get to to 
degrime....I am
                  planning on using compressed air, engine degreaser, 
pressurized water,
                  and wd-40 to try to take care of the external 
cleaning...HOWEVER...

                  I read somewhere on the web, that soaking the carbs in 
boiling lemon
                  water for about 20 minutes would externally clean them right
                  up....so...what do y'all think....would y'all recommend this 
method or
                  not....would/could anything get damaged by this method?

                  second, I was setting the carb assembly upright to check for 
leaks and
                  kinda noticed that the throttle cables are a bit on the worn
                  side...looks like they're the originals from back in 
1984...so should/
                  can I go ahead and replace them or just give them a good cable
                  cleaning/lubricating?

                  any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated....thanks 
guys!
