They`re not quite as quick as the PV but still good fun. We had two blow up in September trying to keep up with Valves on our Big ride out (Newcastle to Oban).

Hi Bubba, It was a runner but the crank was grumbling. Kingsley bought it last year and stripped it but he has too many projects so sold it to me. I,d like to get it back to standard but it may take a while as I just do bits as I can afford it. It has no exhausts as Martin Bell got those but it could end up sporting Allspeeds.

Hadn`t intended starting on this one till the back end but Kingsley, Dom and two more members were sending their cranks off for rebuild. The more we send the better dicount we get, so now the crank is back rebuilt. Ordered new seals and screws for crankcases and off went the cases and carbs to AJ`s in Hull for vapour blasting, ultrasonic cleaning and rezincing. Arrived back today, well pleased with them.  Frame next. |

Those cases look really good. How much did it all cost?

Should have been £100 for the lot but if you join Yorkshire Strokers website you get 10% discount. So £90 plus post.
