I have finally finished it
« on: 30.05. 2012 11:50 »
At long last I have got off my backside and finished my 1949 Rigid A7 Long Stroke and here she is. I can now change my profile to 1 less WIP (Work In Progress). Actually, not quite finished as I now have to get her MOT'd and registered. Also, looking at the bike it seems that the centre stand sits a little low when up but it is right up to the stops. Any thoughts ?

Lovely looking bike. How does it run? Is it possible to fit the centre stand back to front?
