Adventure/ISDT style? or the pa10...
« on: 22.05. 2015 03:27 »
Last weekend I did the Whangarei vintage bike rally, around 50 bikes. Took the ZB33... not an A series, but did spend the weekend riding with C&E on their freshly rebuilt '55 plunger flash as well as Ian on his very freshly prepared '52 flash which I thought I would post a picture of.
Was lovely having three plunger beesa's out riding together, could easily have been a fourth but the owner took some hinkley modern  ::hh::

No spanners were touched over the weekend although big rain showers did mean soggy boots every day. Lovely countryside.  *wink2*

Looks like it's primed and ready for top coat.  ;)

Home made high level siamese pipes work for me.

What is the cross member at the top of the pipes I wonder?

  I'd say it runs between the pipes to hold them in the head, I need to do similar but keep forgetting

Yep, I've done a similar thing on the cafe and A65 to stop the rattle  *red*. In red's case the right pipe has no fixing bar the hose clamp without it.

It certainly looks the part and will I believe be getting offroad wheels. It's also running a conical front brake plate.
It also has a big fin head on a small fin barrel
