Just thought I'd share the latest on the Marsbar.Loved it but a little too skittish on 31k wheels so going for a belgarda 125 rear wheel and 3xv front end.Engine is being rebuilt too as a thrust washer let go on the crank and scored a bore.Pitty as the 31k engine was really quick.Ill try and post some progress as I go.It will be slow due to all the other commitments.  |

Tried a 3tj 4.5" wheel just to see but way too big for the JMC arm which was expected really. Definitely want to keep the arm in as I love the 80's Add ons.

Looks like a 3xv or belgarda front end will be easier and really what Iwanted to do.No room for the speedo drive without machining Im sure Ive seen a thread somewhere with an LC 4l0 with belgarda wheels using standard forks   |

Just got my tank back from the painters.Stunning job as ever.(JB motors near Bristol.)I had a tank with original paint on but a few rust spots, so will keep as a spare. Cheers everyone.  |

What do you consider a 'mild tune'? Just a polish?
