  2. Hope everyone has had a great Christmas!
    Wonder if anyone can help, I can decide on wheels. I have a 5 spoke rear, a 3 spoke rear that has been run loose previously that needs work, and 1 3 spoke front. I either need to find another 5 spoke for the front. Or a decent rear wheel, or I weld it up abs have it machined.

    anyone able to help at all?
     
  3. Little mock up at work today, hopefully get the front end in work this week and crack on with it!

    Don’t suppose anyone has a 98 3 spoke rear wheel? May even swap my 5 spoke one.
    Cheers

  7. How long til it's ready do you reckon?
    I can't wait to see it.
     
  8. Want to get it rolling again, then I’m going to go right through the loom so I know it’s right. Then I will give the engine a birthday.
    Be nice to ride it this year but no real rush just a bit at a time

  17. Such an awesome thread - I wish I had the space, tools, but above all the competence to do this kind of rebuild.
