yeha been fettling a bit today... finally got seat actually bolted on... and re-did the brake linkage for the rear master cylinder as the one that came with it was curse word... this was the original one (highlighted in yellow) a sort of angled affair that moved the pivot hole over and back but was nigh on impossible to line up if the bolt was done up tight, all in all worse than useless this was the rework, simply cut and shut the pedal after bending it into line with the cylinder, then simply used a link rod out of another brake kit I had floating about

hi piper !! thanks for the comment.. seems weird when I go in the shed and theres something shiny there instead of the hulk that was... sorted the last two problems today hopefully. tight steering was down to me not checking the headtube was clean when I put the headstock bearings in and trapping the remains of the rivet that held the vin plate on (took it off to paint) so that was my fault.. the wonky front wheel was a badly machined front wheel spider (4 pronged bit that joined rims to hub) had another one that came with the kit so fitted that instead and wheel runs true now, just waiting for the grey skies to clear and I'm off on a road test..

due to current Fleet reduction surgery this is now for sale will come with another engine to fit as this one suffered a clutch failure I think (knocking from clutch area... might be fixable just havent got time to sort it) looking for 650 ono as needs MOT I think

I want to see what else you've got, if this is the one you've decided to sell!
I'd be seriously tempted by this if I wasn't at uni, it's absolutely gorgeous. And £650 has to be a bargain price too

Awesome bike! Where did you get the gear indicator lights? Or did you make them, and if so, could you tell me a bit more about how exactly?
thanks

hi... first off Bike now sold and living somewhere further north (sob) the gear lights were my own design.. the engine in my bike had a switch on teh end of the gearbox selector shaft which had 5 contacts on it rather than just the single one like the standard neutral light switch.. all i did was put five LEDs got off ebay in the headlight shell,, ran a length of 7 strand trailer wire to the gearbox, used the feed wire for the neutral light to run power to all 5 led;s and earthed them individually to the respective wires on the gearbox switch..trailer cable is handy as it has seven so had two spares (which ended up running leccy starter solenoid later on) any more info feel free to email me on ratdax@googlemail.com or pm me

update time... well been blitzing about on this for the last few weeks and its been great, now fitted a lifan 125 pitbike motor semi auto type (no clutch) and that was good would do 55mph no problem.. so last night I decided to try an experiment and tried the head off the 152 onto it with the big carb and now ive killed it bike was great, satnav showed 65mph but on way back from nuneaton the front forks seem to have totally changed in how they damp so now have to pull them apart to see whats vibrated off !!!!!!
