I told the wife I wanted to put the bike in the house over winter. She said "If the bike move in, I move out". I'm still waiting, I need the space.:wink: Matt
Vey wise bring the bike into the house for the winter. As for the project, I think the tank needs some Isopon ,and someone seems to have nicked the engine and wheels.
Not quite homemade, it was made for me by a nice man in Wales.. T45 tubing, Phospher bronze welded.. As for an engine, yep got one of them, though not much else as the piggy bank is empty now. No need for a drip tray, its not having an old Brit motor .. but an old Ironhead engine, it'll make more power than a 900SS by the time I'm done with it.
Hailwood looks fantastic . There is a great video on Jay Leno's garage web site about his. Ducati 900 SuperSport TT - Motorcycles - Jay Leno's Garage
Well, it is andit isnt.. The tank fits fine because it was made for that frame, which isnt an exact replica of a Featherbed, there are quite a few differences.. eg.. Square section swingarm which is wider than the original, all engine mounts are very different, steering head is different, with different sized races, and so on.
The Leno bike looks to be a year or so later than mine (82 83 ish) as it has sidepanels and those ugly black mudguards as the factory where skimping on paint by then.
