Looking fantastic Jim.

What front wheel is fitted? I think the full width hub the same as the early scorpion is correct but the one in the photo looks like an early Husky?

It has the scorpion pegs and mounts which is really good as the originals are fixed pegs I think.

Please keep us up to date as I think they are one of the prettiest bikes of the period

i have the correct wheel just waiting for the spokes to arrive from bucannon they are in a box with the reco motor.
yes the front wheel is a husky one
the one in it atm is a yam its stopping the forks from hitting the ground
