Zepp

There's no pins to align. The headstock pivots at the bottom on a very close fitting bush and adjusted using the rose joints. This moves a slide through its housing which is connected to the same mounting axis of the bottom end rose joint. Once the desired angle is achieved you pinch up the two axis pins which clamp it all together. There's zero flex or movement possible. You'd understand more of what i describe if you saw it in person. Hopefully i will have it to use at Pod next Spring.

I've got that Slabby frame on my workbench. It's certainly plenty stiff enough and well engineered. Originally made by NWS as a drag bike.

With bending like that you'd make a great plumber too. I know just how hard it is to get the tube notches right and they look perfect.

Triangulated sandwiches!!!

That's a neat idea

I've had this in bits for various reasons for over 12 months now. One job that needed doing was polishing up the swingarm. Yantosh made me this about 5 years ago. Well I've cheated and paid Mark Feltham to do the job and what fantastic results.

Well I certainly got it for a really good price. I've seen folk pay nearly what I did just for a EFE engine. I offered what I thought was right for the engine, frame , swingarm and tank. The rest I consider a bonus. I usually ignore what they ask on Eblag and contact them direct with my offer. I always say I can come straight away with cash. It works for me.

Hello. Yes I know Wayne (Jap) but was told by someone else it was Burnsie sat there. I'm hopefully back on with thdvtebuild sometime soon.

No but would like to source one if you know of one?

Looking good

Had this only a short while. It's fitted with what seems to be a good, standard EFE 1100 engine. There's a few bits that needed urgent attention, the wire loom for one and the front twin lights have to go! Once these few bits are done I will just use it and hopefully Jacqui will ride it once in a while if we ever want to take out one of my others. Eventually I will be fitting a set of new rs36 flatties and a new (old Skool) rear end with paint job to match. Front forks will be doomed to the junk bin too.

Slowly getting there.

It's going back in the big tube Izax frame.

The turbo is Rajay fb60

They're all the same, almost 1157

Engine still sat there. Frame is on the bench waiting for me to modify it.

Yes. I believe this is one of four made.

Well done kidda

Yes. Four but non of them ready to ride!

They're only mounts for the fuel tank. I will be welding decent bosses on there .

This is one option.....

Due to the terrible reports of customer service from JMC im glad I never put an order in for even one of their swingarm but when this came up for sale on my newsfeed I did a deal for it hardly without thinking. I have heard reports about the frames not being too good in handling but these appear to be 2nd or 3rd hand from folk who have never ridden one. Anyway that's not an issue for me as I bought it for its rarity value and like my other bikes just something different. I guess it'll sit untouched for a while yet but hopefully decide on its fate soon.

I made it from a toy trumpet. It was made of ally so easy enough to weld a flange to it.

I used PJ1 gloss
