Built this up from a basket case.. it was just a rolling chassis to start with then i bought a rough 370 engine on ebay and hunted around for the rest of the bits to make a bike.
I'd already collected all the trick parts over the last couple of years. I have a pair of Simons forks for it also but i kind of like the ones on it which have a Fox kit fitted.

noice JO noice - this is my latest lust after bike - of course that changes regularly with each new pretty bike I see but anyway I digress.  I like the Steve Wise replica on Arizona Mikes website also.  Well done.

Sweet bike John. Even better that it was a rescued basket case. Did you get those opaque side panels off the bloke on Marks Swapmeet?

Bill it is a DG swingarm and not sure on the pipe but looks a lot like the Bassett racing one that Rex Staten used when he rode for them. I found it on ebay US... of course  :)

I have a 370 frame which came with an alloy swingarm which looks a lot like the one on this bike. Can anyone recognise this one?

Looks great mate. You do great work, especially with the tank. No garage queen either.
