That's it Dave, same streamlining but no front fender...not enough room for it ;D ;D ;D
The seat is off a later one and just clears the rear tyre by about 1".
If you can imagine the swingarm being paralell with the ground instead of running down to the rear axle and being allmost 7" longer.
The ground clearence under the streamlining is just 2".
OH!!!....and it's all black ;D ;D ;D ;D....can you work some of your magic on that picture Dave. ::)

No no no no no , you silly boy ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D  slacken the TTT bolts and slide the fork legs up through the Ts so the fairing is about 3/4 nearer the front tyre.  The rest is spot on ;D ;D ;D ;D

Oh, I forgot to mention, I like your idea for saving weight, I'm not sure how it will perform with no expansion chamber but I like the single sided front fork.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'll know in about 2 1/2 hours, but it's looking favorable.

Hi Paul, I have built a bike to attack British speed records in the 175 class.
The black bike is Daves computer image of what it looks like.
If the weather is good this weekend we will be fireing it up for the first time.

 Uncle - English modesty didn't allow our very own Sam to mention that he once held records in that class.   :)     He's back    Go Sam!

Hi Paul, old trout and Dave. The bike has just fired up with no problems apart from a lot of smoke for the first few minutes, probably caused from the lube used in the motors build.
The only problem was we had a small leak from the petcock.
All the bodywork is stock RS125 GP Honda stuff Paul.
We took a few pics and some video on Chris's mobile phone, I'll see if he is free tonight and if we can get some help at work we'll try to post them, It all depends who is in work tonight, some of the people here are a bit miserable when it comes to helping out.

Regards Sam. ;)

Lake, I've never had a mullet ;D in fact, I wasn't even sure what a mullet was, I knew it
was a fish and couldn't understand a haircut named after a fish ;D ;D
Now I'm more into the Patrick Stewart look.  ;D

My sticker collection is running low, I intended to do Sam's bike up like
a 2 wheeled Genr'l Lee.



Bout time for an update from Sam!

Hi guys and Dave, ;D  I've just managed to book a private road for the bikes first test ride on Saturday.

The road is right at the side of Thelwall viaduct (For those not from the UK it is an 8 lane motorway bridge over the Manchester ship canal) It should make for some weird sound effects. ;D ;D ;D ;D

It will be done Rocky. Filming it is not a problem, it's getting it on line that is an issue.

We filmed the warm up last weekend and tried to post it. Then got a message saying it was to big.

He was going to try to put it on Utube and post the link but I think bedtime came around. :(

Hey Sam, utube with the link is the only way I've found to get video on here.
I think utube's limit is a 10 minute clip. Good luck!
