Small update.

Some things I wasn’t happy with so have set about changing.

A, it looked too modern.
So lowering the back an inch.

B, didn’t like the iron hubs.
Found an alloy quick disconnect rear hub. Bought an alloy twin leading shoe front hub complete.

C, heavy wheels
Bought a 2.5 inch x 19 morad rim
And 1.9” x 21 front
Stainless spokes and some lovely shenko trials tyres.

D, forks were soft
Sending away to Maxton for modern internals.

E, oil tap buggs me
Redesign it.

F, oil tank too small
Remake it bigger and better.

G.
Use it

Keep you posted

Hi All,

I have missed you   *smile*

Lots happening at work so real busy but thought I would post a final pic of the last mods done to make it look a little more period correct.
21" front wheel, twin leading front brake, trials tyres, lower ride hight.
Now sadly gone to new pastures as I was offered a good price at the right time.  All things must move on occasionally.

Hope to chat again soon,
Julian

PS, one of my colegues has a cool A10 custom, I will get him to join.

G'day Julian, we have missed you too.
Don't leave it so long for next visit (3 years)
Wow she looks a weapon. Luv the pipes. What hub is on the front? Looks like a converted Ariel alloy hub. Has she been run in anger on a track?
Cheers
