Hey everyone it's with a heavy heart that I have to let this go, esp after all the prep work that went into it!!!! see my build thread for info.... Item Location is London and starting price is only 300.00 pounds, frame is uncut and engine does run...

Yep thats the style im looking at!!!... All in only been working on it a few weeks really, but I had a longish break that ate up a few months.... My aim was to get a bike that would roll and be a bit different, In the UK you no longer see beat up bikes on the road anymore cos the MOT...

Just going to cut down near the shocks!!! I "may" do a proper bobber conversion next year if the engine is decent, as I really dont want to spend cash on doing a full rebuild at the moment if needed and defo dont want the situation of cutting up and welding the frame to then find the engine...

Ok new pics Headlight all mounted... Ram Air filters Waiting for new front sprocket so I can test fire again after new seals... Old Seal on right.. Zach got you PM To be honest mate I would be wary of saying anything that I have done wireing wise until I have...

Been a while since my last update manly due to a few family commitments... The headlight and everything is all mounted as is the tank and new fuel lines.. Front brake caliper will be sorted within the next few weeks and im now looking at fitting a bobber style single seat.. Im not removing...

For the hub and rim I would use Powdercoat, I have had many wheels done in various colours and always been happy with the outcome.. Remember to remove all bearings and seals.. Powder coating spokes can be a issue as the spoke may not fit back through the hub, I would maybe look at getting...

I have very limited XS experience but im very happy with the Boyer that my bike came fitted with.. The unit must be ten years old and has sat outside with no protection for many years,I had no idea if it even worked or not so I contacted boyer and they said drop it in to them and they will...

Sportsman these days are a bunch of soft shite!! I say the losing team gets executed by the electric chair.. Then we will see who can really suck it up and go for the win :laugh: Granted there is a difference between a Hospital job and say a parts manager when it comes to working a bit...

Just wish suppliers would pull there finger out and get the bits to me!!

Earls bloody hell I forgot about them :doh:.. I always used HEL nothing to do with a trade account of course :laugh: Didnt think of Wemoto for the piston will get on there site in a moment, Ram air filters it is then.. Thanks

Yeah did know that, I just put it on as I have a tendancy to loose things like that If they are not put back on.. I may get a new front sprocket get it on and fire her up see what the situation is then.. One thing how tight should the seal be around the Rod shaft??

Just a mini update for the moment Bike starts first kick everytime :wink2: so that is a good thing, sadly there is a oil leak coming from LHS side engine case this looks like it involves replacing two oil seals or atleast I hope this will sort it :shrug:.. Still waiting for the...

I tend to use the "in 1st gear method" To be honest front sprocket remaval was a breeze on this bike, the bolt at the moment is finger tight with a good layer of copper grease :bike:..

Had the bike running this afternoon and started to see a small oil leak coming from behind the LHS engine case.. Am I correct to think it will need a new clutch rod seal??

Im in the UK so lets just say there isnt that much interest in the Superbowl, althought I did stay up and watch it.. To be honest a sick day here and there in my eyes isnt a problem!! we mammals work hard 99% of the year, we put up with working during our lunch break, enormous amount of...

Understood.. Only quickly put it on as Im a bit of a "forgot where small parts are when placed down and forgotten about".com LOL

Im gona leave the tank natural and coat with a light spray of WD-40 for the first 6 months and see how well it is protected.. I did however repaint the tunnel and a small area around the fuel tap location for a bit of underside protection.. Thanks for the comment :bike:
