Who've you got in mind beachy ??
edit: It's good old Unc isn't it. How does he do it?
unclerob said:The throttle is much the same as those cheap Emgos just nicer quality.....good thought on the master cylinder TJ....had forgotten all about them! Am planning on getting an original type letterbox fairing and just widening it by an inch or so rather than spend days and days making my own (though made a copy of the seat today but forgot to take a pic) will see what clearance issues arise once I've got hold of one....
You're right about cam cover Colin, had originally planned the top tubes to meet up with the little ones running to the steering head and that would have given the space to remove it. But in the end decided to sacrifice ease of maintenance for a bit of extra rigidity.....my thinking being its now fairly light and doesn't have loads of bits to take off so you only need to undo 6 bolts to lift the whole frame up off the motor to get room....
Pleased with the weight also btw, with a box full of calipers, discs, battery etc perched on top of the frame its currently at 162kg with probably less than 10 more to add....original bike weighed in at 214kg!

Another reminder to never throw away anything, and probably not do too much cleaning either..unclerob said:No problem TJ and thanks anyway...I'm fairly happy with the way it is at the moment specially after I found a start/kill button on a shelf that fitted exactly between throttle and m/c!
I had a major clearout too a couple of weeks ago .....and yesterday realised one of the things that got cleared out was a bag that had the rear caliper, speedo cable and various other Trident bits in it.....bugger!
unclerob said:I should have TJ as I used a Norton spindle in the end but quite where it now lives is anyones guess....will have a look tomorrow....can't be far!
