  1. Just thought we would upload a photo of a project my son and I built.

    Hope you people like the end result as much as we do.

  12. Very nice!

    So that’s what RoadRacing brake scoops look like when fitted. I’ve only seen them before as loose items for purchase.

  20. The plan was to ride it until I can't and then give it to my son on the condition that when he has a son he hands it down @LeighAdams

    Come a long way from this......embarrassed to say how long it took to build @ck_uk , but we got there in the end. There never is a plan as such and when you do have a plan it constantly changes, the amount of head scratching, problem solving, research time, and brews drunk would probably add up to the spannering time.
