When I retire, I'm coming to you house for a visit and i'll just sit and read-for the rest of my life-by the size of your book collection.

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

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

Is that Bilbo or Frodo with the Honda

[flower pot racing]

mmm , No.

That'll be Rod Spry. Guilty of building some of the most beautiful bikes ever!

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

A pair of folding foot rests on and she'll be ready for "pre 65" 2013 season.

That is a stunning looking bike.

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

[VMX247]

Is it yours ?

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

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.
