Hi Malcom. No photos at present, but I'll be taking some perhaps this weekend and I'll send them to your email address. Please understand that this kneeler was covered in dead leaves and snail shells when I got it.  It's not very attractive, but the inside of the engine is flawless!  Only the outside is a little put-offish. 

Something about judging a book by it's cover...  RR

Hey Ricky, if the guy could afford CR carbs, then you can bet the inside will be a bit special.

It's a bit quiet on the western front, isn't it? Nothing worth mentioning?

seems like $1000 to get to where i wanna be(tank and seat+paint), dont know yet if i want to swing the fairing or not...

it wont be a complete replica but just the tank and seat, i already have the clip ons and a pretty clean bike.

But yea..i will spend more im sure, need to strip it down and have the frame powder coated red!

I had been looking for that video for hours on here to post it on another forum, thought I'd stick it where I can find it in future.

Jerry Griffin's got one of those "Big block" cylinder blocks, the lucky bugger! ;D

I only wish I had one. What I have is a 1080 sleeved and bored stock block. 

Oh sorry mate, it must have been someone else. Cheers, Terry. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Does anyone know where I can get a set of RAASK Laverda Jota replica adjustable handlebars? I bought a set a few years ago from a chain motorcycle accessory place in Britain (M&P?) for 40 squids, but I can't find them now? I want a pair for my Yoshimura Suzuki GS1000. Cheers, Terry. ;D

Well, think I will just do that this weekend, 'cause was at the painters today and he showed me the paintwork..........................I was stunned! to say the least. I am normally not without words but I can tell you that I was quiet for a moment. How can something so simple be so beautiful. They will finish the quarter fairing today so I can pick it up tomorrow. It is exactly what I wanted.

Had to get this of my chest.

Cheers, Rob

On one of my bikes I use KONI shocks coming from a CB900, which are approx. 40 m/m longer.

Terry - have you checked their website at www.mandp.com? I got some Raask pipes off them recently so they still deal in raask items...
