Having looked at a few On't 'Weave', I think theyre supposed to be on a Guzzi of some sort similar to the Boranni Record ones on flea bay. The chap's in Italy so already I'm not keen but looking at his shop, he has the sizes I need and the profile is the same as these so there's one lead to cautiously follow. I'm gonna get some rims and respoke the lot. I LOVE these as well, they're really the part but I'm not keen on a 20" front.............On a 'Translap' or XL but not on this.
Bit annoyed!
I shoud have packed it in when the frame went walkies ;D ;D ;D
More cash to find.........bugger >:( :o ::) ;)
Finished the motor yesterday which is why I dug the rims out, all happy and buzzed up. Then.............aaaaaahh, sod it ::)
I've only the static timing to do and the valves etc to set and she's ready to go. I'll re synch the carbs again on the bench and run a bit of juice through them nearer the time. I only put them on for a quick look.....like yer do. Over a coffee and a tab 8)
Oil went in yesterday and through a few texts to Ken, discussing the finer points of amounts to be expected at the head and rates of flow whilst winding the starter etc and a clean bill of health brought a small win and a small smerk
Top on, bolts all in the right holes and the right colour,..... I think, bar one and I thought I'd just poke the carbs on for a bit of a gloat. Think it looks alright actually, it'll be better in the frame when I eventally get it back from the PC's (shiny black before you start....or it might be beige, cant remember ;)) and not so pale although the top lamps in the 'Shed of Dreams'
dont do camera phones that well.

Oh, and finished painting those tank badges, just need a little tickle and there getting bagged ready
They look a bit yellow there but it’s the seductive kitchen lighting she insists on!

Looking mighty fine. The badges have come up a treat too. Obviously they won’t work on the tank you are looking at as it’s an F1 or F2 unit, but that comes with badges anyway.
