Any updates Jon?

she's getting there mate......not sure if she'll be ready for the Dragon but getting closer now.....:)

the old oil cooler was leaking so i got a shiny new one from China and have cobbled up a mounting bracket, just waiting on a hose separator to arrive to finish the job.

have been tiding up the electrics and without too much drama will re-locate most of the gubbins under the tail.....

have also stripped all the paint off the tank, was thinking of just leaving it brushed alloy but it has been lead filled in a number of places so i'm back to re-spraying it again....

quick update time.......

the tank is now finally fully stripped, it took ages which in hindsight would have been quicker to have chemically done......but wheres the fun in that lol

have been chipping away at the electrics which i am now nearing completion, just need to decide what sort of ignition switch to fit and where to put it, hopefully i can get away without fitting indicators but will have to see as its on a Q plate.

feel like it has turned a big corner today after getting some new, smaller front brake discs......now the front nissins all line up properly on the adapter brackets that a good friend gave me, have also sorted the rear brake with a re-built slingshot rear caliper and mildly adapted slabside torque arm......jobs a good un!

This is a nice bike and a pretty unusual chassis. Do you still have the Spondon discs that were on it previously but now are not? Someone on here was looking for some a little while back as they were asking me if I knew of the whereabouts of any.

It was me that @Dezzawas talking about. Been looking for a while as my front wheel on my spondon is on a standard slingshot wheel and discs. The oly standard bits on the bike ! Have been looking for discs and a marvic 3 spoke for a while. Let me know if you decide to sell. Cheers to @Dezzafor the heads up :)
