Looking good Buckers, 8) 8) 8) is that the final piece of the jigsaw?
You never told me what you intended it for, are you going to sprint it? ;)

Yes, it was a long time ago on a rainy day at Elvington Mike ;D ;D ;D
It was just talk then, soon to become reality 8) 8) 8)

Yes. it did take a little longer than anticipated, but it helps to spread the cost. Daniel moving house twice and also having a replacement hip operation didn't exactly speed things up, but never mind it's here now and I can finally get on with building my dream machine - as close to Dick Mann's bike as I can get. I can sense a build thread coming on, watch this space.

Sam
The intention is to enter a few sprints, perhaps a parade/show now and again and the festival of 1000 Bikes at Mallory Park. Noise might be an issue with open pipes so I'll have to be selective in where I take it. Melbourne raceway looks to be a strong contender.

Cheers

Glad it arrived at long last Eric - great news for you. Tell me, was it delivered by a bloke who looked a bit like Lord Lucan riding a sort of grey mottled horse that was a bit flighty, answered to the name of Shergar? ;D

Yep...chance meeting Eric who seemed like, and certainly turned out to be, a real stand up fella. It's been a real pleasure helping him out. I can't wait to see the final product. ;) ;D

Murphy, I did tell you that I had one or two decent mates.  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
It's a pity the one he got the idea from didn't turn out to be one of them :(

Mike / Sam

Thank you gentlemen for your very kind words. I shall endeavour to live up to them.

It could have been if Lord Lucan drives around in a huge red van with Parcel Force written all over it. Not even a whiff of horse I'm afraid, so possibly not.

Eric, did you get the swingarm converted as well to reverse the clevis mount for the shock ?

That's really strange Eric - I thought all post was delivered on horseback in Lincolnshire?  ;D
