yeah they work fine, just needed spacing as they were a bit narrower than the seca wheels. exact same size spindle on each wheel as the seca so slipped on easy enough.

finally stopped pissing it down here in sheffield so got a bit of work done, got some new wheels off a friend which were almost a perfect fit, just got to make some spacers up for them, thinking of painting them black. Also got rid of the awful 2 into 1 exhaust, gonna have a go at making some...

very neat! where have you hid the rectifier and fusebox? so tidy looking now!

Yes mate ill try get some photos later. first remove the shock absorber, then cut down some square tube section to fit the gap. centrepunch and drill 12mm holes each end then bolt in place. The tube section was 40mm wide which was a really snug fit. It's only bolted for now but when I get on a...

nice mate, can't wait to see some photos. i've just cut down the same bike. the monoshock system makes it very easy to convert to a bobber/chopper style. if anyone in the uk is looking for those panels give me a shout

well i put off doing the wiring, but did get a suzuki gn tank that fit well with only a little bit of alteration, pretty pleased with how its looking now, not the look i originally wanted to go for (i like skinny bikes) but i needed something to cover that awful pressed frame up.

Thank you very much!

Thanks bentwrench, I've been looking through them on here but not sure which is the exact right one, would you be able to point me in the right direction? Also the bike has had 14 previous owners and looks like a few of them have had attempts at wiring before so I have to work out their...

Yeah it didn't take much to get a good fit, just shave a bit off the lugs on the frame or on the tank and new holes for the bolts. I've had to scrap it for my bike as it was too long for me once it was hardtailed, it left no room for a seat! Let us see what you come up with Docwits!

I don't even know where to begin! I want to remove everything except what I need to run and front/back lights, guess I'll start it up then start unplugging stuff and plugging stuff back in to see what they do.

It's been snowing like fuck in Sheffield recently so finally had some weather to go out and do some more work, removed all the headlight and speedo shite, only to find the worst mess of wiring! HELPPPPP!!!!!!!

looking like you're off to a good start already! keep us updated!

Our roads are terrible, and the road tax isn't cheap. I'm planning on mounting it with springs but I want to cut some triangular fillets for the underside of the seat to hide them

here's a quick update, was too cold to spend long outside. got air filters on and chopped up a cafe racer seat, think it works well as a chopper seat.

yeah i'm keeping my eye out for a pair of pipes, i need the downpipes and the lot as these are fucked, gonna start fabbing a battery box next and try and figure out a seat/tank combo to fit. really tempted to build my own tank but don't know if my TIG is at a good enough level yet.

Cheers! Air filters are on their way :-D Finally got some 40mm square tube from college, fit in as snug as a bug! Dropped her off the stand then realised the previous owner removed the kick stand when they put the 2into1 exhaust on :-( took some right messing about to get it back up on the...

my guess is because they run in series, the first carb might draw more fuel than the 2nd?

Thanks 16vGTIDave I measured them up, pretty much bang on 54mm diameter. :-)

Looking into some clip on pod filters, does anyone know what size to order? 54mm?

haha yeah the £400 included buying it, got it for £270 running with all paperwork :-) it's the licence and the insurance that will be the killer! Gonna see if some friends wanna chip in for renting a workshop, trying to do all this in the garden is such a ball ache!
