Well its been a while. several months since the last 'update' mostly due to ..... just opening the book of excuses here ..... yeh. usual story .... im a lazy fekker - always in the number one slot that one, other than that i aint been around that much, oh an me computer took a life of its own, turning itself off at will :roll: maybe the gas had run out ... or did it just need another 50p in the slot at the back (anyone else have a TV like that back in the day?)

Anyhow back in the modern world again an' having popped in on the Zed gatherin' at Squires for a few hours recently came back with some inspiration to 'do a bit'
Good to put faces to names by the way :up

Soooo with plenty of 'unfinished jobs' on the list or initial ideas that need changing i had a look thro' me scrap box and armed with trusty hacksaw, faithfull drill and a draw of files cobbed bracket for the steering damper out of 3"x2" billet.
Numerous cardboard templates, a lot of cutting and filing, 20 brews, 40 tabs, 10 hours kip, a tickle with some fan grinders an' a dab with the odd spot facer and i had this -

Not wot i'd initially thought it would look like, but hey turned out 'alf right.
Just as well coz i dont want to make another!

Fork clamp is from Streefighter bling, damper is a 'hand me down' Sprint item and the frame clamp is from MPL Germany.

Next decision was to change the footpegs, even tho' i liked the black rearsets but ...... always a but aint there .....the gearchange was already using a large spacer and the rose joint linkage needed to be reversed (GB pointed this out to me in an earlier post) when i did so the angle increased on the rod and ... well long story short ive changed 'em.

Having had some Spondon pegs donated that were last gracing a YZF endurance bike circa 93-95 thought i'd use them if i cut some 10mm plate.

Que the saw, file, plenty of brews an tabs scenario an i had these -
