Re: That good feeling: 1980 Jawa 207 resurrected
shoulda made your own thyristor. like a boss.
you could even put an arduino in to control your thyristor!
Re: That good feeling: 1980 Jawa 207 resurrected
I put my home made thyristor in a NOS Energy Shot bottle with the logo visible under the tank. That way everyone knew I meant serious business, not unlike Paul Walker in the orginal Fast and the Furious.
Re: That good feeling: 1980 Jawa 207 resurrected
strangly I already had a home made thyristor. ... I just forgot to wire it up.
Re: That good feeling: 1980 Jawa 207 resurrected

Nice looking machine! Huge front fender, keep it, that was designed to be used! Glad you are operational!

Re: That good feeling: 1980 Jawa 207 resurrected

Curiously yesterday I sold a Jikov banjo bolt to a young guy who is trying to resurrect his 207, which he reports still has the Transizmo.

I still have a few parts of a Jawa parts bike if anyone needs them.

Re: That good feeling: 1980 Jawa 207 resurrected
i got clutches galore for the 207.
and like 5 worth of jikov carbs and intakes.
somebody can buy it all from me for cheep.
Re: That good feeling: 1980 Jawa 207 resurrected
