Well, things are looking up!! :D Picked up another lower end and a running TT500! :twisted: So, have most of what I need to get this thing into MidProd without too much worry...Looking at a VM36 or 38 round slide carb, an 18" front wheel and many hours of pleasure...At least the TT solves my tank problems!!! Cheers.

Hi Brian, what frame do you plan on using? Linc thought the TT frame would be the way to go, as it's much lighter than the SR lump.

Good luck,

To Rick: sent you a PM..... :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

To Tim: the TT frame as it's some 60lbs lighter than the SR frame.... :o

To tintop: How many spokes, hell I don't know, something in 18"x1.85" or even 1.60" with disk brake set up. The SR forks have mounting tangs on both sides....so does not matter which side the disk is on... :wink:

Seem to have tracked down a spoked 18" front rim for the TT. Will talk to the guy tomorrow. Got the kick start routine down pat with the TT. Fires first kick every time!!! :twisted: Will start to look at the pipe this week and probably mount the rear tire. Forks look a little pitted, not too sure about new seals on those rusty tubes :oops: :oops: :oops: . The guy with the front rim has some 35mm forks off some 76' something. We'll see what he wants for 'em! Talk soon.

Wow, got so excited with how the seat turned out that I forgot to take pictures before I ran the pan and foam over to my cover guy...Just have to wait for finished pics. Got the rear tire mounted (just did not to bead!!! :x :x :x ) But it finally did and on she went...Looks nice with the Avon. Got the fly wheel off the build motor, but threads are funky on the lightened fly wheel, so having trouble getting that puppy off. Imaging, 27mm left hand thread, can only clean 'em up best I can and sorta force the puller to start the threads. At $12, a new puller won't be to bad!!! :oops: :oops: :oops: The welded and balanced crank and the Carrillo rod were a trade for some old CB500 stuff I had lying around...With the lightened fly wheel...Should make for an interesting build. (on the cheap)...Cheers.

Things look like the are moving along.Very cool UK build,if that's what you are going for.I think the under tail exhaust is a no no.Better make sure. :D

We'll all try to remember that on the grid next season!

You're making great progress Brian.
Which way'd they go?

Well, got the front end mocked up minus the front brake. Fork brace looks good, clip ons are comfy ( :cry: ), and tach looks like a shoe in...Here's some pics...Cheers.

Not much left in the fit department...Rear sets, caliper, and a pipe (not for smoking) an exhaust...
