Thanx Farmer....I posted the question on a facebook group and the debate rages on haha!

I've found Avon do a wet tread pattern road legal tyre that just might do the job.

I spotted Bridgstone Battlax wets on a tasty tracker the other at a local biker meet, liked the tread pattern and wondered what the pitfalls were.

I'm looking forward to seeing it done too

Rear axle spindle, adjusters and caliper mount arrived...all good, just needs a good clean up.

...before up ^^^ there and after...



I do love a good session on the bench wirewheel

Sorry to report that due to photobucket's change of terms of use images posted to their site can no longer be shared with third parties unless an annual charge of $400 is paid.

Literally hundreds of images and years of project updates are spoiled......I will find another hosting site in the near future. I cannot justify the time to update links on previous postings I'm afraid.

Sadly, the caliper mount doesn't fit the caliper I want to use I think an NSR mount will have to be found and modified to suit. All part of the fun they said

PS I've now found IMGUR to host my images (Photobucket can do one, bastards) test image for reference.

Can anyone please help to identify the forks I have...no name or brand, very little to go on, except for this small logo on the lower fork leg. Any ideas?



Some small step last night. Amazingly, the forks with no name are almost identicle in the way the front wheel mounts,stepped axle spindle, single clamp mount and threaded the otherside. The stock NSR spindle works well enough, just a slightly smaller threaded end, but long enough to allow a nut/washer I'll have made in stainless.

Can you see any problem with my idea?



Fits snug enough on this side, I reckon?


The wheel appears to sit dead centre with the spindle maxxed out on the stepped stops.



 ......so sort the nut/washer and a spacer and speedo drive and it'll be good to go I hope?

My latest swap meet finds:

Drag Specialities 60mm speedo

Bahco 12" adjustable

VW GT Beetle gearstick in great condition - rare these days too.



I do love a good rummage

[NoRiders]

Another blinding day rummaging around Kempton.

Here's the lastest haul for the WTF 200/2 project:



Brand new ignition switch unit with keys = £1

20x330mm GS axle to modify = £2

Throttle with alloy switch gear - £1

Suzuki SB 200 gasket set = £20

Thick biker socks = £10

Spotted a good few further solutions to forthcoming requirements I think. Great day out and it only showered on us once

[NoRiders]

As per the title, slowly slowly does it.

Just received a delivery of parts to help me progress the fit of the front & rear wheel from Legend Biking.



After a quick wirewheel session





Honda fittings really do clean up like new.

Just an image update as photobucket are still not allowing thirdparty sharing

Blimey....has it been that long?

I put on hold any work on the Suzonda due to an impending, now completed house move. All my garage shite was crated in an attempt to contain items in some sort of order....hmmm. 60% success rate at best me thinks?

Anyhoo...I was always thinking about it, checking for parts and attending bike events, purely for scientific purposes you understand

My FB musings bore fruit, a member on a motorcyckle group offered up a pair of Micron expansion pipes. He though they were for a 350LC, but they didn't fit his bike....so model unidentified, which always reduces the value. I bid a cheeky £80 and he accepted.
One 200mile road trip to collect and they're mine...all mine



Mounting flanges are also included.

I'll see if they can be modified to suit the 200 mounts and general routing.

All this Micron excitement has rekindled my desire to build this thing as I now have all the major components to start gluing it together.

I still have to reg the 400/4 frame to gain a V5 and reg number....really must get round to doing this.

Also, purchased a box full of engine/gearbox parts off an ebay engine builder/breaker which may come in handy as I don't know what, if anything?, I'm missing. You never know

Spotted another inspiring bike last night at Luggershall Bike night...



Mine won't be like this but the general style is what I'm aiming for.

Thanks for checking in
