85 slabby modified frame.


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi folks, 30 years ago I was given a frame and swing arm by the bike shop where I worked. He was closing down and this was surplus. Allegedly built for the TT it was braced around the headstock, side rails and the swing arm was braced. At the time it was mention3d it was maybe an early NWS. I'm going to pull it put and get pictures tomorrow. 

All frame numbers intact, the plate and stamped. I've already got a 87 750 slabby so I'm thinking of changing g the frames. 

 

How the fuck do I get a V5 for it? 

Thanks in advance guys.

Hi folks, took some pics today. It's a bit grubby as it's been in my shed for 30 years lol .

I was using the swinger on my own bike so it's cleaner. 

 

Don't know what to do with it.

Can you not put the numbers off the slabby you already have onto that frame?

Didn't want to butcher the frame. Plus, my frame is polished and nicer looking. I always found the weave in the handling to come from the old 18wheels as opposed to the frame and swinger anyway. 

Maybe for the TT it would be different !!
