The latest edition to the build.
I've finally got the magnesium fork cases machined, painted and fitted. Hurrah!

Eric

I bet Dick Mann would have wished that he had this bike to race Daytona.

Been looked after Sam. ;)

Well he is my mate Brian, haha.
He had raced a sohc4 in the top fuel class back in the day when they first came out but got the yearning to build the bike after seeing mine at his local track around 2003/4.

Fun project to follow!  What wheel/tire size combination do you have on it?  And the K3?  They really look good!
