came with a bespoke tank from the Tank Shop in Dumfries

  

and it came with the Saunders side panel/ tail unit and a nose fairing

Is the saunders fairing a bit like an Endurance one with one headlight. Not sen one of these frames before so build is going to be interesting to follow

[Harris Magnum 2x2]

Looks very similar to this Harris Gs1000. Sadly not my bike just out of my picture collection.

Tis a beauty and nice that they kept the GS 1000 motor . Looks like  `H` section Dymags, could be wrong

more info needed, what engine ? 

I reckon it`s a GS 1000 G with a shaft drive thingy, but I`m just guessing.

Looking good and ready for Summer

[Homemade frame GSX 1400 turbo]

Remember seeing this built years ago and from this the owner turned it into cafe racer. Fine looking bike and home made frame. Don`t know what happened to it. One side blue and other side orangey. Water and fire ?

[B12 plus DOT-head questions]

Thats a fine looking beastie and looking forward to seeing the build

Yeah thanks for that..

I had a detached retina which based on their last assessment after the operation all looks good now. The procedure is a bit grim especially when the big syringe comes out and they start injecting your eyeball but it's fixed now and that's the main thing.

If you ever see a shadow in the corner of your vision go straight to a&e as if the retina detaches completely you'll go blind in that eye. 

This needs to go in the list of things you don't want to know but really should. 

 

Thanks for that, never know might do some good on here. Lots fabricators etc might get same problem or other things that might cause it. Last metal shard I had in eye they used big like hypodermic needle to ease it out. Bloody horrific when you see something 2-4 times size of normal needle being insert into front of eyeball.  How on earth you manged with fluid being injected I don`t know. As the saying goes `Glad it wasn`t me` but as you say , sorted now. So that`s a good result

I'll do a ride update ASAP - I had an eye operation recently and I'm not allowed to drive or ride for another 4 weeks so I'm going to have to be patient

Should coincide with beginning of Summer. I have to say I`ve had metal bits dug out of my eye in past and it`s not nice. Used to work in a factory and machinists didn`t always dust off machined parts and when came to spray would fly everywhere.  Be in your hair so when take googles off would drop down into eyes. makes me shiver even today, thinking about it .Hope the eye heals up and no problems.

That`s a beauty and don`t think I`ve ever seen one on the road. Good that you have resurrected it ready for Summer. Be interesting to see how it goes and what you think of it

[My Old SRAD 600 The Happy Slapper]

Sadly sold but so enjoyed riding the little slapper. BTR ride height adjuster, Adelin brake mastercylinder, this worked a treat and very impressed with feel and power. Stripped of decals as were pretty badly faded. After market clip ons set further forward which made it much

more comfotable to ride. If you can call a SRAD comfortable.

Also did the airbox modification to improve air flow. Felt completely different afterwards, much free`er revving

Last but not least a pair of chinese rearsets which I was very impressed with quality

Wish I hadn`t sold it, but that`s life

Wide indeed it is, it's been chopped from original and I plan on chopping it again to something more like in this picture. Am really looking forward to flying around on this  but it'll be a while yet . 

Be interesting to read your thoughts in comparison between this bikes swinger and normal one. When you start riding it.

Trying to get motivated, and start working on the TS again…

…mounted tires onto the wheels, and balanced and trued them up.

Fit them to bike to verify that I have clearance for chain and front brake torque arm.

New Mikuni 34mm carb, NOS cables, and bike specific jets, to replace the 32

High end dual spark ignition to basically replace just about all the electrics, gain peace of mind along with more HP.

Love them wheels. They really look good on the bike

Though I best take the swingarm arm out for a look see, hade to make a slide hammer up to get the 2 swinging arm bolts out. A very interesting bearing arrangement in there.     

Swinger looks even weirderer out of the bike. They put alot of fabrication into that. Hope it makes a difference when you ride it. if it feels any different to a normal style swinger
