Well after months of searching and advice on what not to buy ( many thanks to Kev (KAPRI) for his patience too? ) my son purchased this yesterday ,we had a nice leisurely drive into deepest Somerset to check this out,I saw all the dodgy bits and what needed doing ? My son saw no more days of boredom and a use for some bits I still had lying about in the shed  The chop came with a lot of history/MOTs and another engine ( smaller size though ?) it's got a low mileage GPZ 1100 lump (20000 miles ?) the frame looks like a professional job till you get to the back end ? And all the brackets are of the pigeon poo type  Plus a big box of electrics and bits..the plan is to use what we have ? |

Rear mudguard suggests someone was. Looks to be a good base to build on (once welding has been sorted) and I'm sure that it will turn out fine. |

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers.
The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.

Don't think he likes holes ? Thankfully those are just stick on ones ? Because the petrol tank was covered in them |

Welds on the rear end definitely not as good as round the head stock,think Taylor has a bit of clean up and re-do in that area.

The welding on that triangular plate is on the bit of metal next door to it.

It seems they cut the original axle plate and then added their new extension onto it ?  |
