Ian's 3 1/2 Sport

No..No.. Not the Dart!

My 3 1/2 sport is a 1976 model. She was bought second hand in 1982. Her differences from stock are -

• She doesn't have the standard 'clip-ons' and was fitted with a top triple clamp that takes normal type handle bars. I have fitted a set of adjustable bars (similar to those fitted to some older Laverdas).
• The cluch has the washer between baskets changed to the nylon type from later models.
• I have fitted an external oil filter. A Norton Commando type fed with external plumbing).
• The original owner hacksawed(!) off the left hand lifting handle so he or she could fit a pack rack.
• Extra dints in the tank :-(
• Rubber carb manifolds from a later model (stops those flat-slide DellOrtos rattling quite as much).
