    Then i pinched Caveys Buell front mudguard to go on the Busa forks. This is were i had to question my sanity. To make the cheap mudguard fit, i had to butcher a decent set of forks. Ive lobed of all the bracket minus the caliper mounts and knocked up some pukka brackets, and hey presto....

    The Busa arm slots straight in the J frame, use the std spindle with an oversleeve, std Busa shock, rocker n lingages, modified the bottom frame rail for linkages and 1off removable top shock mount to suit

    Hey folks, im finally back on line, my feckin laptop went tits up before xmas so i gave it to Spart to sort for me...top man! And then i discovered the power of the PS3, im over that now and back on the straight n narrow [8D]
    In the mean time...Ive changed back to the oil cooled tank and sorted the tank mounts on the subby. The frame, swinger and subby are off at the powdercoaters for abit of satin black, the wheels have been powdercoated white and treated to some new rubber. Ive banged out all the polishing meself and the bodyworks going off this weekend for the paint. Coz im running outta time im gonna put the 1216 motor in this till i get the T-Pot motor sorted (got a blow thru on the cards ). I'll get some fotos up of the progress tommorow
