Yes, I suppose it is a bit small and dainty looking - perhaps it would look a bit more butch if it was powder coated black?

I think its great. I can imagine that on my (fantasy) HPN ish retro twin shock air head overlader/rally raider monster. Maybe one day i will even build it now I have a proper man garage workshop.

Better?

Much better and two bolts to make sure that it doesn't fall off like the one that bodger Tunner did on the Trumpet he chucked together.

.....But 200mph - isn't that a tad optimistic?!

Not if it's switchable to KPH. Mikeyboy will say it is even if it isn't

Call me sad but there will be a mk2 version in the new year

mikeyboy · Jan 6, 2016

Where were we before being interrupted by chrimbo. :augie

Wheel building ,front one built and trued up

mikeyboy · Jan 6, 2016

Front forks,I have rebuilt these with new seals ,etc,
I know there are probably better forks and brakes that could be fitted ,but I don't want to strip all of the "character" from the bike

mikeyboy · Jan 7, 2016

Got the yokes back from powder,prior to getting the coated I removed the locating pegs for the OE indicators,and got Chris to weld up the holes and machine the flanges flush.
So back in with the steering stem,

mikeyboy · Jan 7, 2016

New bearings fitted

mikeyboy · Jan 7, 2016

Forks,forkbrace and mudguard fitted

I need to order some new seals for the wheel bearings and some new gaitors for the forks but for the time being I have refitted the front end to keep it from getting damaged

Looking good I recon

mikeyboy · Jan 7, 2016
