Fork it!

Front forks shortened and fully rebuilt. This bike will essentially be new when I am finished.

love it!

do show!

Has been sitting a while and in a builders garage. In other words, the oily areas has a light sprinking of collected saw dust.

I emptied the old fuel and was happy to see that the tank has been sealed

I was unhappy (but happy for avoiding a possible fatality) to see that the slides in the Amal monoblock carbs are scored and rooted. When I say a possible fatality, in the condition they were found in they were likely to jam with the throttle open, potentially lethal.

I don't know what rubbish metal Amal used to use on their slides but apparently this is a common problem.

I am sure the frame has been re-powder coated because it is in fantastic condition. 

I emptied my garage of one toy - only to refill it pretty quick with this;

Maybe its because I am 1/2 English but I have always wanted a BSA A65. Tin 1965 Lightning sign painted by a kid was the first thing to be removed. 

More to follow

Made progress;

seat being upholstered at Marshall Upholstery, new sprockets from Ze Germans, new gold chain from US, new steel brake lines coming from UK,  

I have put zorst back on, calipers fully rebuilt with new seals/pads and put back on (so I could measure up brake lines)

All it will need is some wiring of the new speedo and electrics then test fire-up before strip down for frame to be slightly modded/powdered.

Then I got a new toy, check my BSA.

Nice project! Be cautious with those Silvia struts, I would have a chat with a certifier before getting carried away. I have heard of a Z owner having to remove a similar setup for cert, something to do with struts themselves, possibly the geometry was all wrong

Yeah the 110 is going nowhere until I have that bike going on road.

The sad day I spent with Crustywhip getting rid of the 1200 (which was replaced by the C110)

My mint crack free original dash sourced from Melbourne:

Thanks for fixing KY, not that odd in combo, only the 240kgt badge that is export spec.

I only have it on there because it's NOS and fills the holes

Used to have a topic on here,

Maybe now that it is over 40 (cheap rego) I should finish it....

Ahhhh perfect - I am spent

Need video - stat

you could get some mikunis from a bike like my Kwaka kz650?

Damn son, all running then? I wanna hear it scream!

Do like, well have like - for years 

I have more done on my K but I bet you will beat me to the road!

Holeeeee kamikaze! I see what you mean. I can't wait to see the rest and see a video / hear how other notable improvements go

Nice!

Guess you wont need a CB50 then?

MOAR!

Still got heaps to do, small steps though.

Will look better when I fit my gaiters.

Where I initially thought my front fender would fit, turns out it rubs so will have to come up with a cunning plan for that

Guess that's the price you pay for fat tyres that are fat. Not looking forward to the handling however, without air in them the tread/sidewall merge looks almost square!

very nice man!! did you by any chance buy those cb50's off trademe?/wanna sell one? lol

Yep and Yep, that's the plan. Hook me a pm with your phone no.

Gettin thur...

so boss bro, same place that did your last seat?

Very sess-spensive?

AWWWW YEAH! Got my wheels back together after being powdered and new bearings put it. Got me tyres fitted up today.

Sooooo happy with how it looks.

Think I will keep the green tank on.
