Engine?

Oh fuck, I knew I’d forgotten something!

Agreed!
I want one!

Looks can be deceiving,
It’s been rejected and returned to Germany.
That’s the 2nd one the customer has bought unseen (in the metal) from Europe.
Both have been molested and/or accident damaged

Both rejected!
Actually, I prefer the black/grey version.
I have the poster from the early 70's on my bike stable wall.
Apart from my Guzzi I only do black - even my Ducati is black!

Bittabully time today!
Test Fitted the rear mudguard and rear lamp

 

[mikeyboy]

Then tried to fit the new seat base.
What a fuckabout.
The seat manufacturers must have used an original seat base as a mould or former,
So the base is undersized
Also ,it’s not supplied with brackets so the old ones need to be removed from the old base,,,,,,,,but ,,,,, then don’t fit,,aaaaahhhhhhhhh
4hours later

 

[mikeyboy]

Next job,new seat foam and cover,
Hmmmmmmmmm,
Think I’ll send this to the upholstery man

 

[mikeyboy]

At least something went well today.
Got the yokes back from the polisher
Shiney,i like shiney

 

[mikeyboy]

Refitted the stem,new bearing etc.
They fit here

 

[mikeyboy]

And,breathe

 

[Andi_archer]

Shiney thats going to be a dazzler when finished

Those yokes look fucking mint, glad we decided to polish them

It also occurred to me, looking at the mudguard, as we're doing away with the airbox there's gonna need to be a flappy rubber shield thing to protect the carb/engine from shit being thrown up? I'll have a chat about the seat base when I next pop over (soon) unless you can see a way of getting it to fit................

Anyway, looking good and that beer looked well deserved

[mikeyboy]

Oh, I got the base to fit,,,,,resistance is futile

Are you going to run a UKGSer give the bike a name thread?

 

[Deleted account 211025001]

I’ve already got one, based on a traditional Spanish name:

Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz.
