Hopefully you guys can make it....its always been well attended, even when the weather abandons us.... This year has been difficult obviously and we haven’t had chance to promote it as early as usual....but I still have high hopes of a good turnout.

Can you get a temporary spare wheel fitted so that your road trip can still happen...?

Not the most appropriate place to advertise this I know..... but some of you may be partial to a bit of 2 stroke action....if so, this is the place to fill your boots. All 2 strokes welcome.

Lincolnshire is back to normal as far as biking is concerned. No joke, I reckon there were 10 bikes to every 1 car on the roads today. Out on our pair of Mongrels, Millie and Ruf, racing each other over the Wolds like a pair of 21 year old nutters, brilliant fun as both these bikes handle exceptionally well. Brekkie up near Brigg and quick pit stop at Willingham Woods and then another race all the way home. I always let Trig win by the way, I couldn't handle the fall out of me winning 😁😁😁

Very nice, i like the “brat style” especially the 750 with the black barrels... And it looks to have a nice looking set of cross over style marshall exhaust headers  8) Strange how I was saying on another thread recently that they seem rare and then another set shows up... I’d love to do a brat style honda like yours (or the ones on classic octane YouTube channel) but i simply cannot fit a sixth bike in my garage  :-\

I used RS paint on my side panels..I can’t remember the exact drying times but the paint did come with comprehensive instructions...I think it was water based,  they advise to use a mask.. which i did.

Rocker, have you checked out this guy’s channel on YouTube?
https://www.youtube.com/c/ClassicOctane
He builds lots of CB550 brat bikes, all the same style but they look cool.... he does a lot of mods to the electrics adding led’s etc.. Plenty of good content, def worth a look.

Yep definitely stick with Japanese style bullets, they are available on ebay or rs components etc... As far as soldering is concerned, if you’re just preparing the end of a wire to fit a bullet then no need to solder but if you are adding on lengths of new wire then yes twist and solder the ends... but if you need to make such repairs its probably better to replace the entire length if you can (although you will find such joins on original looms in some instances), stick to the correct gauge of wires too. I wouldn’t bother buying an expensive top quality tool personally, unless you plan on repairing looms for a living, but avoid anything un-branded cheap and nasty, I tend to try and go for middle ground compromise of price v quality... same advice goes for any diy mechanic buying tools.
