    This Brute can never be regarded as a dirt bike in European terminology
    But a Not a complete dirt bike nor a Tourer ...but totally a tarmac terrorist!!
    Some teaser specs >>

    Year 1985
    Engine
    Capacity 749
    Transmission / Drive
    5 Speed / shaft
    Top Speed
    165-170 km/h
    Any guess??
    Sir Its a Honda XLV750R with regualar commuter tires insteed of those bulky off road tyres These hydraulic tappets are way ahead for 1985 when compared with our indian bulls recently omes with twinspark and hydraulic tappets.

    proof required on guess?? here it goesClick image for larger version Name: 750.jpg Views: 1 Size: 12.4 KB ID: 1838491Click image for larger version Name: 750_1.jpg Views: 1 Size: 20.7 KB ID: 1838492Click image for larger version Name: honda_xlv_750_r_1985_3_lgw.jpg Views: 1 Size: 68.1 KB ID: 1838493

      Sir hope you have leaked the question paper by giving too many clues like twin spark, hydraulic tappets, and Red crankcase .

        Ha!!....true !! Too many clues, thought , after a long gap, our friends would have forgotten me..so thought some new member will come & take the simple challenge....but it landed at a expert's hand :-)
        But there is a BIG mistake in my Clue..which you never noticed, even just now i found that ;-)...find it??
        But this RED color engine & stuff is your imagination ...I never told that....even the pic never exposes the Crank case ..he!! hee!
        Thanks

              Here is the TYPO>>>Engine -four cylinders, SOHC. 3 valves per cylinder:<<<< ( it should be 4 plugs & 2 cylinder)
              Right??
              The pics you have posted from net has a HRC ( Honda racing Corp) color scheme, fo which the engine will be in " Signal red"..but whereas mine is just dual tone ( RED & white)...so it is Black....any way, plz wait for the pics

                        Many left their Mark in Battle..Me Own one.&amp; now it is restored -MATCHLESS G3L-1941

                        The Matchless G3/L was a motorcycle developed for use by the British Army during the Second World War,
                        So what???..
                        The G3/L became one of the most popular motorcycles used during the war,...as it was the first to replace the unforgiving "girder" front forks with a new technology, "Teledraulic" suspension

                        . The real innovation of the G3/L was the "Teledraulic" forks,

                        It all started from my end like this>>>









                        Though I have few other Brit war derived machines...few restored & a couple waiting for their turn
                        Working on this project was so easy...as most of the vital parts was present, when she came to me :-)
                        Any way due to some obvious reasons.... the project was kept low !!
                        No regrets...now she has turned up to be a fine example.....few instruments are yet to be fixed after service...

                        Even during the Norton 16H restoration project..had this>>> Military motorcycles usually had fittings in dull chrome, to keep tell-tale reflections to a minimum.

                        Dull chrome gives a grey non reflective finish, which is often used on engine parts and dials, and wherever non-reflectivity is desirable
                        Initially , the regular Chrome plating was carried out on many parts such as "Kicker", gear shifter, Levers, Lids etc.......butCadmium coatingwas done to the fasteners ..as in 16H...
                        But my quest to get the " DULL CHROME" was screwing my head....hence when the assembly was half way through.....Again it was completely stripped down after finding a real passionate Electro plating Person...who obliged me>>




                        ...ah!! now after getting it done....again things were re assembled
                        Now here is my 1941 Matchless G3L Army >>>













                        Want Tech specs about this machine??
                        ...well get back soon.....My XLV 750's exhaust is leaking.....will come after fixing that

                          yes of course! more about Teledraulic suspension too..

                            I bet very few have patience to go through this boring TELEDRAULIC....

                            Illustration 1------------General arrangement drawing of Teledraulic front fork

                            In order to clearly understand the following description, and subsequent assembly
                            and adjustment instructions, reference to illustrations 1, and 2 will be necessary.
                            Owing to the unusual construction of the Matchless Teledraulic fork it is desirable
                            to understand what happens in use.
                            Here is a brief description of the fork and the way it functions.
                            As will be seen from the general arrangement (illustration 1) the main members
                            are two long, stout, externally ground, tubes which, it will be observed, are firmly
                            fixed to the handlebar clip lug by the top bolts and are clamped to
                            the fork crown by the pinch bolts .
                            Upon the external of these tubes are mounted the springs and sliding members, to
                            which latter the front wheel and mudguard are fixed,
                            The telescopic action of these sliders, combined with the hydraulic dampers, described
                            later, explain the word " Teledraulic," coined for the description of the fork.
                             Damper Tube Detail Sectional Drawing Illustration 2


                            The hydraulic dampers operate in tubular members located inside the main tubes.
                            As will be seen, the sliding members operate on steel bushes attached to the bottom
                            ends of the main tubes and also upon bakelite bushes secured to the top ends of the
                            sliders themselves. Above each bakelite bush will be observed in oil seal, provided
                            to overcome any possibility of oil leakage into the spring chamber
                            The normal level of oil reaches a line diagonally across the bottom edge of the
                            oil level screw hole. It will be seen that all parts located below this level are continuously
                            submerged in oil. Bearing this in mind, it is at once clear that the upward
                            movement of the sliders, upon impact with a road bump, in addition to meeting
                            resistance from the springs, also causes oil to be swept down by the close-fitting
                            steel bushes
                            .....ref :illustration 1
                            )

                            PS : Those don't have Patience to read....just remove any of your Modern bike's Front suspension & try to grasp .".HOW THE STUFF works"? ...& remember those legends who designed this 7 decades before

                              Amazing stuff.. even the last generation enfield bullets (after 70 years) almost have the same suspension..

                              kudos to legends who designed this amazing suspension and saved every bones and balls

                              Muthu Sir Thankyou for your time explaining this wonderful piece of engineering to all of us.

                              Lucky Matchless... Got designed by a legends and again got a new life restored by a legend....between your restoration skils day by day geting MATCHLESS
