I picked up this FE really cheap!, my plan is to convert it to a white framed carby to match my other one, I’ll post pics of the work as it happens.
It's already a carby ain't it? Wasn't there only 800 of these made? Be better to fix it to original imo but good luck and I look forward to lots of pics of the build!!
Not sure when the belts were last done so I loaded it in the van, can’t be too careful with these old ladies.
Your right, started stripping it down this morning, Mikuni BDST’s fitted, see photo above, coming apart easily, no seized bolts, looks like it’s been well cared for.
Well it’s been a rainy morning so I’ve been able to get stuck into the project bike, all went well, the only bit left is to source some decals, what do you think did I do right in going away from the original FE guys? As I said rain here in Derby so I’ll ride tomorrow & nip out in the Porsche today. PS if anyone tells you that a puppy with big paws isn’t going to grow into a big dog don’t believe them, feeding her costs us a bloody fortune!. PPS photo of my other one in next post if you look closely there are a few minor differences.
