Ex drag bike back on the road

[thebuelligan]

Lovin' this build. Some superb work going on here.
Some of it looks kinda familiar.....just wish mine had a turbo .

Keep up the great work. I'll be following this one with interest.

Thanks Paul and thanks for the pic of yours ;) Exactly the style and stance Im going for!!

Received these original RC Engineering catalogues today. Trying to identify some older parts is sometimes a challenge. Now know the origin of the swing arm Im using and also dealer price lists have part numbers for future treasure hunts!!
Looks like the original builder of the bike was an RC fan!!

If anyone is interested Im very happy to copy and print out any info.. Just let me know!

Lovely work mate.
You got any history of the bike when it was used for drag racing?

[thebuelligan]

Little by little!! Bloody hell it was cold in the garage today again!!!

Rear disc and calliper carriers done Had to remake the calliper carrier to a brain malfunction and lack of basic mathematical skills!!!

This looks like a future contender for the clubs stand when sanity prevails again.
Inspiring work and thoroughly enjoyable to see.

Was not too happy with the trimmed down de lugged battery tray so had a go at an ally version..
Suprisingly the battery fits!! Nice and snug but will at a retaining strap.
Now to mount the dreaded starter solenoid and rectifier ..

Early drive sprocket cover was a little tired looking but scrubbed up ok!!

Not posted for a while ..
An idea that turned out more challenging than initially thought!! Giving a later MK2 Generator cover an early style look!
