Well, hes on holiday for another 3 weeks as well...so its not going anywhere. Ill PM you his details so if youre interested you can contact him directly....i dont think theres anything he doesnt know about these bikes as hes owned them from new...
I forgot how much these were a labour of love. Glad you got sorted comfysofa... did you end up going 550 on the rebuild?
It was always a 550...it was just the crank that gave way...without sounding like a kid again ive been riding bikes for 30+ years and this thing kinda takes me back to my 20's - its loud (really nice loud), requires constant maintenance (which im happy with - it was one the reasons i bought it) - it looks amazing and because it goes the way it does...makes it totally addictive. Tonights job is to add a second manually controlled fan on the RH rad to keep it cool in traffic if it gets too hot. Also to blank off the oil pressure sensor that apparently never gets used..nothing more to tidy up the look of it...
Easily done if you’re scrolling on a phone, I’ve disabled reactions along with @ on my profile. They’re meaningless to me tbh and take no satisfaction/offence by the reactions.
