 Speedo cable posted off to Speedy Cables in Swansea for shortening. I'll check the tyre size later today Mike. Rear wheel's 16" & front's 19". Got chatting to Bernie at Project Fabrications in Newbury, Berks yesterday. He did some welding work on my very first 2 trike frames, (I built a matched his n hers pair of XS750s for a girlfriend & myself). We reckon that must've been 27 years ago!

Mine had brand new tyres fitted when I bought it, so haven't bought new for quite a few years. I guess you could fit wider. Don't know. I think there's a site somewhere that tells you what will fit what.

Is it actually engraved? Doesn't appear to have any depth -looks more like a wrap to me.
Tony Reynolds, the guy who did mine, is featured in a Spanish magazine this month, (yeah, he's posting me a copy).

New, larger diameter exhaust clamps arrived in the Post today, (to attach the back end of the pipes to the frame).
Current state of play:
exhausts at the welder's,
tank at the painter's,
carbs at the engine tuner's.

Keep thinking the Summer will be over before I get on the road, but then, it's been pouring down here for days, so I wouldn't be riding it even if it was done.
