Ugly Duckling to Swan in 2 years 4 months

<< < (4/8) > >>

Dazza215:
Thatb truly is a beautiful bike, you should be proud.
My experience of the American ideal bike would be to take something as beautiful as that and put a gordy king and queen seat and ape hanger bars on it. so probably best not to ask Chris. LOL.

RGP750:
Cheers again Guys.
I wonder how long it was in the US junk yard for.
Presumably the straight through exhaust was so loud he couldn't hear the cam chain rattle.
the cam was seized due to all of the swarf from the cam chain/tunnel wear 5mmx100 per side.

MrDavo:
Hard to fault that, and I'm a picky barstewerd, so I'm told (I have judged at classic bike shows).

These may probably also have been sorted by now, but:

Rev counter cable should be inside the wire guide around the horn.

Some white cable strangeness going on possibly to the neutral switch, should be hidden, but probably temporary, I don't see all the  screws on the covers so it could be 'work in progress' when the photo was taken.

When I bought my bike the exhaust modification sticker was there on the chainguard too (I hope you didn't copy a picture of mine!) it should be on the offside swinging arm.

RGP750:
Ha! Ha! Mr Davo
I took the photo last weekend.
Well spotted the sticker was moved last weekend Kettle 736 pointed it out.
The taco cable may be a little short as it doesn't sit deep enough in the clip.
The white cable strangeness  was me waiting for the alternator to come back from our electric guru
on hear who re wired it for me with correct new wires.
All fitted and sorted now.

Pops400:
Hell of a transformation, that. Looks a credit to you.  8)
