Hello, I am a relatively new member and very new to working on Douglas motorcycles.
During the strip down of my 1947 Mk1 fitted with a Mk3 engine I have found 3 major issues (so far);
1) The bike must have had a severe head on crash, the headstock is pushed back, is off line and the frame spread at the front downtubes, I need to get the frame straightened. Are there any recommendations?
2) The big ends are worn and I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the direction of a company or person who could rebuild it. I have had no luck so far finding anyone who will take it on.
3) The bores are very worn and already +0.060, so I am considering getting the barrels re bored to suit Honda CB250N +0.75 pistons. Anything I should be aware of?
Sorry, but I will be asking many questions, some stupid ones I am sure, over the next months but certainly will appreciate any advise given.
