FH - update

 The FH has been the go-to bike recently, and it is shaking down again after it's 500 mile service. I'm getting on top of the carburation helped by Hitchcock's (or Amal's?) guide to tuning the Mk1 Concentric, and now that I have it ticking over with a #30 pilot jet and the pilot air screw 1/4 turn out, I might go to a #25!

It's flying along and looks great:


Notice that the rear wheel is nicely off the ground in these pictures!

The only problem is - it's still burning oil. The head is going to have to come off again to inspect the guides which is a shame, because the leaks are cured...
