It is starting to take shape nicely with a few more mods this week in the hands of Mechanic Pete!
The brackets have been brazed on for the rear brake anchor and the side stand, the spacers made up for the rear wheel along with some nice new snail cams and the chain guard fitted. The wheel now slots into the swinging arm nicely.
I should have a new rear sprocket and kick start arriving this week from Terry Weedy. I have decided to make the 1st gear a little longer so I am changing the rear sprocket from 62T to 58T, also the KTM kick start currently on the engine doesn't clear the footrest on the new frame so I am putting a Miller type kick starter on it which will clear the footrest without having to fold it up.
Not too much left to be done now before it goes to Steve Gagg's for the finishing touches (tank, exhaust, seat, bash plate and rear brake pedal) unfortunately this will have to wait till mid December due to Steve's workload so it looks like there will be little progress now till the end of the year when it comes back.
Jan will then be busy with stripping, powder coating and re-building before I get to ride it....

Looking good. While the bike is having a major make-over, what about the rider ?
Richard (also in need of an over haul!! )
I certainly could do with one mate!!! Hope you are well. When are we likely to see you wobbling around on your BSA (trials bike) then??
I tend to wobble most leaving the rugby club !! As for doing so on the beza....no idea. Started the new house build and have to prep 3 scrambles bikes + wife and children.
Will let youy know
Richard
If you have time to go to the Rugby club and to surf my site in the middle of the day, you have no excuses...lol I think you should rest on your laurels with that trick BSA scrambler you have on the bench and make a trials bike that if of a similar standard! see you soon Dave
