Cheers for sorting me posts! :D ,tbh for a big shaft drive it handled and braked quite well certainly better than similar bikes Ive owned from that era! a certain GS850 springs to mind! ,have got goodridge hoses which help but could probably do with new pads,hoping with the conversion to chain and s...

Welcome aboard ,2 great looking bikes!

Ah cheers guys ,its a shame the chrome is poor in places! will probably re-chrome at some point depending on their lee time.Re front end tho the bike is non-standard I want to keep a period look so its skinny tyres and dodgy brakes all the way! http://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah120/nohope37/bike...

Have been slowly making progress since my last post ,put the frame in for powder coating ,however blasting revealed holes around the l/hand rear shock mounting point! had it repaired but missed my slot to be coated so had to wait another two weeks before could collect it. http://i1378.photobucket.co...

Just been looking at it on ebay! good luck with your sale,must be hard to part with.

Great job ,good looking bike!

Hi all,have made some progress since my last post.over xmas got the engine out and barrels off ,won a new swing arm off flea bay which I think will suit the bike. http://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah120/nohope37/new%20swing%20arm%20001_zpss6zlt0ci.jpg not sure of the make ? maybe a metchamex? will...

Cheers all ,sounds straight forward enough! even for me..lol..am really looking forward to doing it, the rear hub and front box weigh 15.7kg together! so should make the bike a bit lighter on its feet plus suit the overall look of bike with a decent arm in etc.

Hi mate, I am looking forward to seeing how the conversion goes. There are a few snippets of info on the web about the chain conversion but not a great deal of photo evidence. The ST frame width will swallow most swingarms with ease, why not go with something a bit wider? I have collected some of t...

Havnt posted for a while ,had a mixed few months with the bike.Electrics mostly,culminating with a coil going on the way down to the Quay when I had my youngest on the back! typical.New coils purchased,then tackled the wiring,replacing all the connectors having first invested in decent crimpers!,bac...
