Front end on

Rolling Chassis

Some of you may recognise the paint job. Trust me, it aint stopping like that.

Wish me luck, this a long term project.

Thats a hell of a way to make good progress fast; new complete front and back ends.
Ive spend days p*&&ing around with a standard swingarm trying to get all the crap to fit it and at the end of the day its still a standard swingarm! (boat anchor)
Whats the target style and layout going to be. Take it, its a a road going bike?!!!

Al,
It really was a drunken plan. frame took an age to find.
Gunna sit and look at it now, make mi mind up about front end.
Then clean what there is and start.
It's going to be a road bike 1170/1260 :evil:
Kind of bike the rich lads had back in the day.

Along these line at the mo.
