I wouldn't call that slow progress James, they look at least 50% complete and in a really short space of time. Quality is as always impeccable 👍

Suppose I’d better provide a bit of an update. The day job and summer holidays have kept progress fairly intermittent, but both bikes are on the home straight now.

Photo update from a couple of weeks ago:

Latest photos from earlier this week.

The carbs on the bike in the foreground took close to 12 hours of work to clean, plate and rebuild. Possibly the most gummed-up K0 carbs I’ve tackled yet!

Absolutely stunning as ever ames, they look fantastic next to each other in the shed. Oh, to have to to work on at the same time, what utter bliss.

Well done, I'm loving this ;D :)

Apologies, have been so focussed on getting these bikes over the line / finished I’ve been somewhat delinquent in taking photos. The red bike is now finished and the blue bike just needs the tank badges fitting (I’m missing 4 x tank emblem clips).

The red bike is heading up to the NEC at the weekend with my mate Andy, to be displayed on the BSA owners club stand at the Classic Car and Bike show (he had a space and offered to display the bike).

Sadly I won’t be at the show - but if anyone here is going, feel free to pop by the stand and say hi to Andy and the bike :-).

James
