wing nut · only took 5 years

Hi folks after what seems an eternity myself and the owner have eventually managed to nearly finish what was origionally a wheelbarrow full of scrap into this yet to be ridden in anger not bad example you see today ,its a 1973 s1 and have tried to keep it as close to origional as possible ,most of the engine was missing and to source the bits was a nightmare

what do ya think ...cheers matt

Great looking bike , wing nut, but your exhaust are on wrong they should be fixed on the inside not the outer,
easy mistake to make i have done it plenty of times when i have come to replacing the exhaust you dont realise until everything is nipped up then you stand back and think somethings not right as it looks odd, great slideshow

thanks guys ,sadly the pipes are pants ,they had a lot of patching ,which was done badly which distorted them ,the best we could do was fit them like this then whack hell out of it with a hammer where the kickstart goes :shock: on the up side we managed to locate a near perfect set from the back of a friends garage, and have them rechromed :D :D good as new but not fitted yet
