I do like Terry Weedy's work though, so who knows what might evolve in the new year. 8)

Good quality at the right price. Why not...

I just expected him to be taller.  ;D I do like his TT500 rocker oil line modification.

Beautiful! Unless I'm mistaken I reckon it'd slot right into pre 60. Is it yours Alison?

No ~ It's a continual fight of persuasion to have a collection like this city dweller  ;D

VMX247 do you have any more pictures of the BB's footpeg set up?

I have a '52 ZB33 in a '49 rigid frame which I'm setting up for dirt track, a friend gave me some CRF450 footpegs but i haven't got far enough through the build to figure out how I'm going to set them up on the bike.

how is the rhs peg mounted to the primary? and i like the lhs side set up with the plate mounted off the gearbox cover.

Quote:I had a good friend weld the alloy block on to the primary chaincase and then drilled and tapped the case to take a triangular plate that I had welded the footrest to, and bolted it on. The gearbox footrest is mounted on a plate that is again spaced away from the box with three distance pieces having a female thread at the mounting to the gearbox studs and a male thread to mount the footrest plate on.
