mutiny

Thanks man. Been a lot of late nights . Well worth it in the end. I brought a real nice chrome dash for it but unfortunately it doesn't fit. My speedo is too big for it so I would have to move the speedo to the bars and find a fuel gauge to go in the dash. Not sure what I will do yet I will try get some better photos next time i take it for a scenic rip

Chuffed

Things have been escalating. There was a bit of rust around the frame that was starting to bug me so decided to strip it right back and paint the frame. While it was apart i painted the tins too. Because who wants free time?

Proof of riding. Did about 750 ks in the last 48 hours. Bike was flawless..... well so I thought. Thought I heard a but of a rattle. Turns out the muffler decided to Crack in half. Have ordered another so will weld that on when it turns up

Nah still have it . Havnt been riding it a huge amount but going to ride quite a bit over the Christmas break

Pictureless update for a fun less update. have just installed new shoes and wheel cylinders in the rear brakes, the only thing worse than drum brakes is drum brakes with 2 cylinders per wheel. damn theyre a dog to adjust right. front is still drum brake so im on the hunt for a front disc conversion . i believe 81 to 85 b1600 and b2000 brakes bolt straight on. i have done the conversion on a previous b1600 i owned but that was well over a decade ago. if anyone knows of any for sale please get at me, i really dont want to have to rebuild the front drums. On a brighter note i have been driving this around a fair amount with trouble free motoring. has become my weekend driver. i really need to get around to aligning the tray a bit better, body lines dont line up with the cab real good

Thinking about moving this thing on is anyone is interested

Well I've been driving this round a wee bit since getting it's warrant. It's running pretty good. Great for throwing the bike on. Been dialing in a few small things that have been bugging me. Just small oil leaks , rattles and the like. With all the new suspension, steering and tires it actually drives pretty bloody nice. Next on the to do list is a new exhaust

Bit of a bitter sweet update. After the last monthly meet the 2l decided to run a bearing on the way home leave me stranded on the side of the motorway. I managed to source a gamble na 1600 motor of a friend so whipped that in and after the legend himself @RUNAMUCK worked his wizardry swapping out the dizzy and timing the motor up I was back in business again . Have taken it for a wee drive around the block and the motor seems to be happy enough. Old water pump was shot so picked up another and slammed it in. Oil change and some new plugs and hopefully it's smooth sailing from here on in I also put some guard mirrors on it. Damn they're useless but they look the part

Beem working on this thing pretty flat out. Done a bunch of interior work and just rebuilt all the steering components. Everything feels a lot tighter now . Not too far away being ready for a warrant

I was just meaning sometime before the 7th if anyone was keen

Anyone interested in doing a wee impromptu daylight savings spitfire square meet ?

Just took this for its maiden voyage. Zero travel in the front . 50 percent of a exhaust. So bumpy and so rowdy. Love it . Still a shit load to do but darn it's a good feeling

Progress is coming thick and fast now. Motor back in . Gearbox back in . Got it running today for a short moment. Seems to run like a champ. Waiting on a new waterpump then I can get it up to temperature.
