Pops400:
What an absolute beauty.

Very nice
Zunspec:
Thanks folks,
Although apart from the new silencers it is unrestored and original so not much effort on my part. Paint has blemishes from it's time in long term storage but if I had it all re-sprayed it would not be original any more.
Love this bike, it's a privilege to have it in my possession 8)
Cheers Geoff

I am still checking out the engine on my bike. The exhaust note is not quite right to me and the #3 cylinder is running rich (not firing every stroke ?), it seems the #3 is being a bit lazy :D.
I am curious why #3 and #1 compression readings are down on #2 and #4, although they are within the range of acceptable (just). This could be due to the long time the engine was not running so may improve with a bit more use (I have only put 150 miles on it since I got the bike). I would guess a top end re-build/service is in order but I'm not sure it essential at the moment, any thoughts on the best way ahead appreciated.
Cheers Geoff

Hello all,
I have been contacted by the guys from Classic Bike magazine with a request to include my Seeley in a forthcoming feature they will run. I am presuming it might be about the various bikes (or chassis) with donor engines which were prevalent at the time to match Japanese power with well handling frames. It would be a great article if they collect a mix of Rickman, Dresda, Bakker, Seeley etc. and feature them together. I'll let you know how it goes and what likely issue of Classic Bike the article might appear in.
Cheers Geoff
