Well, needs a bit of tuning up but its alive 8) Running a slightly richer mix than usual as i thought better to as she has been sat for about 6 months. Excuse the quality but it was shot on my phone :oops: (Click to view video)

Have been pretty busy :( . Almost finished my MZ project and waiting for the weather to warm up so i can try her out. Just started on a trike project to build with my dad too. Getting a HUC frame and scrapping the one that the trike came with as its a horror story! :o . Going to the Southern...

Hi mate, clip ons were from silverbackmanufacturing and levers were from dirthut both on ebay. TO be honest the old seat wasnt great quality. When you saw it in the flesh the shape wasnt symetrical which always bugged me. Honda seat also gives me more space under the seat to hide everything and...

Films not been sped up, they really are that mad! Spent 7 years living on the island and used to go out and watch every time. Find a nice solid looking tree to sit behind or top of a bank you can quickly dive down! :D Moved away from the island last year but taking my dad back over for the...

Well just booked flights and hotel to take my dad back over to the Isle of Man for the southern 100 races in July. Couldnt justify the cost of going for the TT. Just need to see if i can get work to pay for some of the flights now if i pop into the office while im there! lol. Will be good to...

Funny you should say that as i did have a little project when we first moved in ;) http://s45.photobucket.com/albums/f66/BBSparky/The%20%20bar/ Bike is getting there. Waiting on a couple of parts to turn up and then have someone sorting a wiring diagram for me which will have just the basics...

Cheers, hopefully it wont be too much longer before she fires up again :D

Cheers beachcomber, garage isnt bad, the old fella who lived here before even carpeted it for me so its nice and cosy for working on the bike in these winter months :D Just need to get some more tools in there now ;)

Im now in Warsash in Hampshire ( near southampton ). Been away for a while due to house move but back now and cracking on with my project. Have a lot of catch up reading to do!

Sorry guys, been away for a while as bought a new house. Have now got back onto the build so heres a bit of an update. Undertray tacked in place. Just need to drill the holes for the LED's and it can go off to powdercoat. Then i can start to put it back together and figure out a paint scheme...

Small update. Bike is now all stripped down, unnecessary brackets removed and frame and cardboard pattern has been sent off to have a custom under seat tray made to hold all the wiring. Then it will be on for powder coat. Idea of the tray is it will follow the underside of the frame rails, up...

Well I got the rear sets fitted this weekend. They clamp onto the frame rather than weld on due to regulations for the race series but seem sturdy enough. Got my angle grinder back from the old man too so will be removing unnecessary brackets and rear footpeg mounts this week. Also ordered a...

woohoo, new toys. Rear sets have turned up.

Well it was a little like christmas in the BBSparky household today. Mr Postman brought me lots of nice goodies for the little MZ. Got the new seat unit which i think looks a lot better than the old one i tried. So i have shortened the rear of the frame to suit. Also got a piece of...

Cheers for the link. May have to see if i can get something similar in the Uk as the shipping was $74 ouch! Just kind of liked the capacitor idea from a tech/geek point of view :)

Hi guys, Need a bit of help. Im trying to work out what size/rating capacitor i would need to use on my 1979 MZ TS250 to replace the battery. Looking to loose as much weight as possible from the bike and also make hiding all the wiring in the seat hump a lot easier. The standard battery is 6v...

well, couldnt help myself so popped out at lunch time and bolted the exhaust on. Looks much better and sounds rather nice too!

Well the new exhaust has just turned up so will hopefully get that bolted on tonight also got someone coming round to possibly buy my old KE100 which will mean a few pennies for parts on this project. Been in touch with a company called Burwins who made parts for the MZ racing series and will...

Cheers guys, made a little more progress this weekend but not much. Got the seat trimmed down to shape a little more and bolted down. Not sure if i should trim the back a little more yet to bring it up higher or leave the tail curving down. Thinking of going side number plate so dont need it for...

ha ha ha. Im mates with one of the guys, jim - third guy in the vid who does the Ok signal, that does this. Used to see them before we moved off the island. They are a great bunch of lads and always a source of entertainment at the TT :D
