My type 8 after a long sleep

[JZH]

All it needs is a matching front!

(This paint scheme is a Type 9, btw. No. 8, but Type 9.)

Ciao,

[marcus57]

I have a 3 spoke dymag front , I'm keeping my eye out for a 5 spoke front , or I have a pair of these pvm's both freshly refubished .

I can't make up my mind

[Drunkn Munky]

You tracking this bike now?

[marcus57]

No , its to nice for that .
If its lucky it might get a couple outings on the road this year .

I have a k4 600 with all the goodies on it for track dutys .
I would like a 400 of some sort as a road/track(daylight mot) bike which is the plan hence my wanted ads , hopefully have something sorted depending on funds .

[Drunkn Munky]

Make sure you dodge those potholes hose mags wont last 5 mins with the state of the roads down here, I think the PVM's would look ace on that bike.

[marcus57]

At the rate I'm going it probably still won't be on the road this year , ha

Managed to escape into the garage again for a couple of hours so I finished off fitting the Rick O rads and samco hoses .
The bottom rad looks trashed, fortunately its not it's just where the paint has flaked and it looks awful in thepoctures.




And just for refrance I compared the lower rad from Rick Oliver to my rlr/radtec one , there's quite a difference in the two

I know it doesn't look like it but the edge on the right is lined up on both rads

Have to move the garage around to get to my track bike .

Had the 30 outside so grabbed a few pictures













Still a few odds and sods I want to get done but it's ready for tax and not now (fresh tyres needed ).

[marcus57]

I said it was ready for tax and mot , but as ever I was bored one evening and ordered a few more bits for it from Japan , just had an email saying that they've been despatched which I'm exited about .

Been a little bored this afternoon so I was looking for things to do.

I started with this grotty old seat and decided to recover it with some alcantara I had


This is the finished result , I'll get some pictures of if fitted later on

[marcus57]

My parcel arrived from Japan , the upper isn't fitted correctly as I'm not sure if my screen brace isn't bent .
