The KSS engine is just about the sweetest 350 single I've ever known: sublime! In fact, the rest of the bike, gearbox, brakes handling etc. are as good as any for that age. Ride one if you get a chance. I've ridden a couple, all too briefly, but strangely never had a chance to ride a pushrod 350 Velo to compare it with...
That is lovely. Had a KCR and a KSS many years ago. Early models with open cam boxes and plenty of oil leaked out past the felt inhibitor strips. You wont have that problem though. Again, what a great bike. Congratulations.
Just seen your latest 3 uploads, the 2 Harleys & this one, such attention to detail ( only way to do it), a real pleasure to watch. I am fanatical.in the upkeep in my Fatboy Lo Special, I go to Spain often , would love to meet you & have a coffee & talk , all the best Amigo 👍😎
I enjoy watching you skillfully work on these old bikes. So good to watch a craftsman 👍 Do all these bikes (not this one) belong to customers or yourself?
I have only restored my own bikes as a hobby (I was never professional) and now that I am retired something for friends. Thank you! Best wishes, loscar👍
@@LoscarMotorcycles this hobby must be so satisfying good for the mind, body and soul. Thank you for making these videos, they are a pleasure to watch. Best wishes from Australia.
I never even heard of this brand before I saw this, I am in love that thing is AWESOME! I must ask what that would cost to buy one in that condition? Keep up the great work love your vids!
When i was about 18, 19, 20, back in 1980/81/82. i lived near Geoff Dodkin's Velo shop in East Sheen, W.London, and would sometimes step inside and drool at the black beauties. In those days i rode a Guzzi 250 TS.

Hello david.😊 To solve the correct fit with the chain between the two axes, I made this polyethylene guide. As it is lubricated you can also use nylon and it is easy to machine. Thanks for asking and for watching my videos. Greetings Loscar✌👍
Velocette, always a liitle bit special compared to most UK brand motorcycles. That multi-spring clutch must take some time to set up correctly. Very smooth tickover for a single.
If you ever get a chance to ride one do so, the clutch is the easiest and very best, and not difficult to set up at all, you just have t know what to do, just like with anything. Chris B.
Dear Oscar: I would like to help you in your Velocette but we are very distant! I am in Spain. I am sure you will find someone who can help you near you. Thank you very much for watching my videos. My best wishes, friend. Loscar
Yes, I was aware of this brilliant prototype by Allen Millyard. I always liked them a lot, this type of work of authentic engineering. Thank you very much for the information. Loscar
A potential recipe for disaster using metric micrometer, feeler gauges, and spanners, why not use old fashioned imperial measuring gear ? There are many perfect items for sale today, although they are obviously second hand.
Beautiful and painstaking restoration. Great job Sir!

There would be such a market for new bikes that look like that.
Lovely and manufactured in Hall Green just 12 miles from where I live.
Exclamación genuina: Que belleza !

You are a genius Senor Garcia 😁🇪🇸
A beautiful machine and a lovely restoration but I would have checked the oil return sooner than later !

@@LoscarMotorcycles the Velocette V twin is nice but his watercooled V12 Kawasaki is nothing short of amazing!
