Bike Built for Turkey

[digger]

Coming on well John i thought i was looking at your last build pics untill i read the posts
that swing arm from simon must have come from the same bike as the bash plate on stig
and the frame is on Diggers 604 project I wonder who else has parts from that silver MT Frame

Funny you should say that Craig, as soon as I saw the pic I thought that

As a club, we have the replacement sleeves and spring separator for those shocks, for sale.

Digger had standard gaiters on his shocks at one point if I remember rightly

Thats right Simon, they fit easily, I,ve fitted them to both bikes .
As an update on the build, (I,ve got other projects on the go ),I,ve got to fit tyres ,chain and sprockets a bit of wiring, get a hose for the front brake and paint the tank that the powder coater wouldnt do and a thousand other small jobs .

That paint is really nice im liking it

The silver frame, bash guard and swinging arm came from the 350 I'm building for my wife. I kept the bike in one piece while I painted another frame and swinging arm from Simon, then swapped the other bits onto the freshly painted frame.
The bent forks mentioned will be from a different bike as my wife's bike is wearing its original forks (the sliders are original, I've swapped the stantions with my 500 as I needed more ground clearance).

Hi everyone,

As John has said, I bought my bike 12 hours after the offer to join the rideout. Can't be accused of being too keen! Just lucky that someone was selling a suitable bike less than 4 miles from where I live, for a decent price. What can I say? It's fate...

Got the tax yesterday and have now arranged a visit to see John and give it the once over. Looking forward to a long ride out down south!

I'll post some pics when I start work on it. Even though it's fairly sorted, a little TLC wouldn't hurt.

Ride safe all...

Thanks for the comment Gents, The bike is now a rolling project and got the engine fitted today. Thought I had taken some pictures of the bike but not on there ( getting old!).

Had a bit of a shock before fitting the engine. Doing some basic servicing I opened up the cam cover for the first time to reveal this




Idler and tensioner were seized and both cam and crank pulleys need renewing, corrosion had got that bad that it had even damaged the crank seal, anyway it now looks like this, Bizarrely the rest of the engine is spotless




More pics of the bike to follow when I remember to take some!
