well,  guys,, what do you think   ::) ::) ::)


and who can identifiy  the front end ???

i need a front brake caliper and i,v no idea what will fit  ??? ???

also the speedo is electronic thing  with wires and the sender has got lost  ::) ::)

Front end looks motocrossy Mike, DRZ maybe?

Very tidy Mike. Did you build it?

Maybe worth considering modifying the rear torque arm which is currently in compression as oppossed to tension (similar 'concern' to Manky's).  ;)


To quote Sir Manky with respect to his torque arm:  http://www.mankymonkeymotors.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=7916.msg225106;topicseen#msg225106
 
The rear brake torque arm needs some modification. Not a lot, but the current set-up means that under really heavy braking it'd be possible for the caliper to move over-centre & swing around the disc. A second locating tab on the frame should fix that.

its a long  story ,,  ;) ;)

things come home to roost  after many years of being  messed about all over the country

now looking for a complete front end ,, as i,m unhappy with the one i,v got  ::) ::)

also exhuast front /down pipes to experiment with

Well I still have the chop in storage ,
About to get back on with it
Bought another donor bike for the odd little bits and a different front end to try
But still looking for more hours in the day , as new love off my life is taking up time and she comes first these days

Hello mate :)
New love? A lady or something mechanical? :)

Biker chick ,, ;)

Oo-err :)

Nice bike definitely needs finishing Mike..and a new lady 👍

Bloody ,, corona virus ,, bikes stuck in storage in Derbyshire and I,m in north Yorkshire
