RideWithStyles Posted July 31, 2024 Posted July 31, 2024 Lovely looking thing and so much attention to details with loads of milled parts and fabrications particular note to the rear hub . Just a shame they didnt do owt to the engine cases , with all that work to pretty much everything, now that does stand out. Quote
Nick the wanderer Posted July 31, 2024 Posted July 31, 2024 I wouldn't want to be cleaning it, be a nightmare getting into all those nooks and crannies. I know I'm old but the welding looks like it's been done by an apprentice. Does have a bit of charm though. Quote
