Title: SWM RS250GSL 1978
Post by: Canam370 on July 07, 2013, 12:47:32 pm: I'm aiming to have her out for Harrow - maybe :). This'ns built as a rider (with period patina and character lines) and apart from a few odds'n'ends is about ready to roll. Be nice to be able to get a bike more than 25% complete to start with for a change to make life a little easier :P

Hope to see you there
Cheers

Post by: Canam370 on July 09, 2013, 11:56:46 am: Not yet John. Just waiting on a set of Hydros to be resealed and fitted, then I'll give it a blast.
Anyone out there got a pair of the proper sidecovers for the 'L'? They're a cross between the RSGS ones fitted and TF1 style. Happy to even just be able to take a mould.....

Post by: Canam370 on July 10, 2013, 06:45:21 pm: Just finished off the odd bits and while the bike doesn't look a lot different to the previous pics the shocks set it off. Grouse looking model imo!
