I've stripped the paint off and had to file a bit more to open the gap in order for it to grip the shaft properly. will prob repaint it as the chrome has been ground off, sorted I think. those handlebars are original tomaselli ones and I've kept the patina on them too Just awaiting Bob Wright to find me a 5th Gear selector fork so I can finish the bottom end. I matched up the ports yesterday to the cases and they were about 1mm out which is a lot for a two stroke. I'm leaving the ports alone as they are the 6.2hp ones BTW those are not the rear shocks, just mock up ones

looks a good project. that's all consumable parts so nothing really major as such (just expensive)

I've email Mike to see if he wants to go too

in the UK if we have a legit receipt its ours, just need to send off to DVLA to change registration

there an Adventure bike shop near me funny enough. http://www.adventurebikewarehouse.co.uk/

Happy Birthday to Bippo, the official Birthdate of the Bips :birthday:

aww happy belated Birthday Preload

nice one, you jammy bugger. know sweet FA on suzi's but a bikes a bike is what i say

to the YOC, that's some CV you have there. lets see some these bikes BTW the links are just banner ads, which i've removed

how long can you sit on a 50cc? I got about 4" of closed cell foam on it which will not spoil the silhouette of the original bike

well things have moved on a bit more; tool the seat to Matt in Hyde to get it covered and I picked up my wheel from Manchester Xtreme looks ace rear view (makes the rear seem larger) not sure whether to go for a traditional ribbed front tyre or go modern and get stickier, I'm leaning towards sticky ATM and I also eyed up the headlamp I'm using that's why I needed longer fork ears still got about £500 to spend on this yet

went round to see Matt today in his new premises. sound guy and is really up for doing the custom seat as I want it. ready in 2 weeks

Happy Birthday Mervin hope its a good one mate

the tapers are always thicker. you need to take out the bottom seal on the stem. that way you have some thread to go on. when they settle, you will need to tighten them a bit more. ensure all paint is off inside the neck so they set properly

2nd hand or ebay usa would be your best bet

mmm could be, I always fancied the Manx too

OG I assume the tanks will be except the custom shaped ones

I don't under stand but I really like candyfloss

bet you had a good time never done the TT yet

that would be much later bips

cool, things are moving

moved to and fro...

aherm

I asked Alex to do it once, but he was busy at the time.
