had a little tool about with the PV rear end.

Very nice. Are you ok planning on building a hybrid?

I need an early PV rear wheel, disc, caliper sprocket hub etc if you decide to sell in the future.

Sure, I will be moving on all the surplus stuff. I will message you when I have a list together before putting it up for sale.

Nice one cheers.

Thought I would do a little status report on the money pits.

Standard’ish LC - UAD
The frame and swing arm have been straightened and are currently being powder coated. Engine cases are away being repaired. Crank refurbished. Still need to clean the wheels up - salvage the carbs - send the oil pump off - get paint done. I still need pipes for this......

350 R - PNH
Straightened- swingarm in. Waiting for a mod on the yokes before front end can go on. Engine work nearly finished. Got pretty much everything else ready to start the build up.

Ex prody 350LC PKP
Got this one stripped and ready to go to motoliner for tweaking. This had the headstock mod done on it and I will most likely leave it that way. This one is going to be more TZ inspired. Parts currently being gathered.

And a new addition of Yogis Hybrid 250. This one is getting there and should be ready for MOT in a couple of weeks. Something to actually ride. Happy days.

Keeping yourself busy then.😁

When you say headstock mod, is that to sharpen steering up as mentioned in Howard's thread? Never heard of this before.Have read about it twice in one day now.😮

What a great starting point. 3 bikes and now 1 more lol. Going to watch this with interest and good luck with everything!

Mine was stretched out a little to make it more stable which worked for me.

Yesterday I did finish off getting PKP ready to go for straightening. I don't remember it being as bent as it is now. I do remember it producing chocolate buttons the last time I road it hard at Lydden, it nearly spat me off several times. I had just started working for myself by then and decided I really needed concentrate on other things.





Not a lot to the loom.



The old catch tank - I remember emptying that just before fitment.



Being the sentimental t**t that I am, I started to think about all the people that I knew and were about in that time of my life. The friends I still have and the ones I don't see any more, family and friends long past that I will never see again. Strange how objects can evoke memories happy and sad. That moment soon passed - where the f@k did I put my spare engine mounts -grrrr.


Also picked the frame and swing arm up this morning for UAD and dropped the cases off to have a little repair done.

I also picked up the modified steering stem for PNH (PV) so should be able to put the Fazer front end in soon and release the F2 front end for UAD.

That's it for now

Love that blue side stand!

Hi all,
Hope everyone is doing OK. I have been disappearing up my backside with all things Brexit. What a shower of sh!t but that's another story.
Managed to get a couple of days in the garage between Christmas and New Year.

got the front end on PNH


That's as far as that one is going for the moment.

PKP - my old racer is back from being straightened. Twisted headstock/ yokes - forks slightly bent. Frame was bent to the left a bit like a banana. Swingarm also mullered. All straight now and tucked away while parts are collected. Engine is with the builder.

UAD On the bench and starting to go back together.





Hope to have one or two ready for the summer - if we are allowed out to play that is...
