These are amazing builds!
Out of curiosity, how much does the weight of the motor drop the ride height?
I too am a big fan of Maxton, not cheap, but not that much dearer than say Ohlins either. ...

A lucky escape!!
Last time that happend to me, I rebuilt with some undersize rings that I had laying about, then swapped back to the originals after a few hundred miles. Bit tricky to do if you're...
Urrrrr Maaaaa Gurrrrd.......that is Glorious
£122 is a bargain for a 240 section. Result!
I've mounted and rebalanced my own tyres for as long as I can remember.
Average price for mounting, about a tenner?
So not much saved, but it gives...
Oponeo does it again!
Just snagged a Dunnie SportSmart II 180 55 17 rear ....£95 delivered.
Local dealer charging £165 (fitted.)
v.III out now, so loads of bargains to be had.
Will be spooning it...
Nice to blacken things down a bit....loving those parts Enoch.
I've vynil wrapped a few aluminium parts to darken it down a bit....like you, I'm not a lover or chrome bling....
...
Great little unit that Rotax.
The Pegaso less so.
Piaggio and their customer support are a waste of space unfortunately
But it's still a great base for a project I recon.
If you haven't already...
Love this.
If I were being really, really, really picky, (just me soz!) I'd like to see a wee bit more patina....a few blemishes, and battlscars. Otherwise, it's a thing of loveliness. I'd be...
Are they tubeless?
Did you consider Kineo by any chance?
Very nice indeed.
Almost spot on, great attempt.
Be better with a black seat, and unpolished case covers.
Then leave it outside for a few months to aquire a natural patina.
(But that's just me)...
Please, please, please use heat shields.
The quality of your build deserves them.
Exhaust wrap nearly always hides crap workmanship.
Wrap on new bikes.....reminds me much of the same.
Wrap can be...
Nicely done!
Really, really neat.
Do you have plans for the heat shields yet?
Sammiches for the win!
Seriously good job on those sidebag brackets.
Someone needs to patent that!
Nice work!
Love it when parts are modified correctly to do their job.
Rather than folding and reaching for the parts catalogue.
Proper modification there!

Hahahahaaa......stay clear of North Wales then.
The police love small plates & open pipes up here.
It's s.59 central.
Bar end mirrors work on some bikes, but not on others.
Depends where your elbows are in relation to the bars.
As has been said, they can be a little wider than oe stuff, but you get used to it.
I...
Nice....great project.
I think his ride of choice was Rickman Metisse?
Beautiful things.
Were at the NEC a few years back.
Big bucks though.

Sorry, no offence intended.
I come from an era where we spent weeks or months even trying to squeeze that extra hp here, or there.
Oversize carbs, big valves, raised compression, subtle gear ratio...
Exhaust wrap.... brown seats.... leather bags.....
