"Abandoned in North London"-The Rebuild Thread

[scarfacehugo]

Do you realise that a bike with a passenger seat wont pass an MOT without passenger footrests.

Do you realise the bike also doesnt have indicators or mirrors or Hi beam or warning lights or horn or switch gear to turn all these gimmiks on? Its a fact that I'm not British but I heard some stories when you used to strip bikes to nothing for weight, aerodynamics and looks...? Maybe it was just gossip



Rock and Roll!!!!

MOT testers certificate hugo?
I have a relatively `tame` tester myself, talks more about the bike than he does check it over!

[scarfacehugo]

The bike was MOT'd 2 weeks ago

You`ll not want too many wet journeys without a front guard, that water and road grit in the face gets tedious!

[scarfacehugo]

Yes, I'm trying to source a inexpensive early R6 mudguard. Thundercat/ace ones are too expensive/big/ugly.

Meanwhille I'll use the TRX's

Very nice

Got a good 'menacing' look about it.

I think its the brake lines and the rad that make it though

But, FFS got some new pegs!

Say again???

[trixynut]

Sorry.....

Sir,
Your motorcycle is very nice but I believe it would benefit from some footpegs that are not blue, in my humble opinion.
Regards,
David.

Dear sir, evolution is a slow process and I cant afford a revolution!

As said I to like the end result.

Footpegs...why not use the rear ones on the front.
Or are they a different size?

B-art

[Mincehead]

footpegs are the lest of his worries, without front brake lines it`s going nowhere just yet!

P.M. me your address & i'll send you some pegs to calm Dave down - it's the least i can do now that the 'tear' has gone

AHAHAH!!! You lot are priceless, you are!

To get rid of the "tear" I had to, not only cut a new board of ally sheet BUT also bought some used braided lines off Dave to do a 1 into 2 circuit. That way I only have 1 banjo coming out of the master cylinder. He says he posted the goods Saturday, but it's now 8h15 Monday morning and still nothing in the post. I'm about to call the Police...

I'm still not 100% pleased with the number board. Some more changes will take place soon.

Thanks for the offer, mate!

I`ve got his address and a large lump hammer, we could re-engineer his knee caps if they don`t turn up soon.
