    Hi everybody!!!

    Just to let you all know that we are working on a fantastic new www.hva-factory.com website that will look and feel similar to our current site, but ultimately be a better user experience - particularly on the new crop of mobile devices! (whatever that means)....

    Our current site is over 10 years old now, so is well overdue for an upgrade that I hope will be ready by the Autumn.

    Now I am sure some of you are a bit like me and resistant to change - so we wont mess with it too much,

    Andy.

    Andy,

    Here is a much needed item, to be reproduced.

    Kick start knuckle for 78,79,80 primary kick era engine that goes on 125,250,390's.

    Known for the splines to strip in the kicker knuckle, because kicker shaft clamp bolt, hits the recessed area in kicker shaft, while trying to thread bolt in.

    This issue causes bolt threads to strip or not get the clamp tight enough. I've had to put the shafts in a lathe to cut recessed area deeper.

    Thanks everyone. Orders are coming in thick and fast on the new webshop. I am aware we had a few small technical issues (like some people not being able to login!), but I think they are sorted now....

    well said, my brother has done that shimming for years, makes the clutch disengage smoother if the stroke is actually pressing the pressure plate and not moving the whole clutch, also good to check for shaft play, if any your best bet is pull it down and find out why
    thanks Andy for great videos on the bikes we love and like to improve :thumbsup:
