SWM RS250GSL 1978
« 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

Hi Guys,
I'm gonna take my Fantic Caballero 125 to classic dirt in September
I wonder if any of you have an Italian bike to join me in a group at Lithgow
Hope to see you there
Cheers
Sebastian

 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.....

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!
