Additional Info | All components machined and fabricated by myself. The engine is from an old racing 1951 BSA. All materials were sourced from a friends scrap bin, and all parts (engine, gearbox, wheels etc.) from eBay. Amall TT carb brakes and all parts made and designed by myself. The design ideas are probably a cross between 60s racing Hondas, FSIE Yamahas and British motorcycle heritage. The build time is in excess of 1400hrs, although monetary costs fairly small, approx 9000 dollars including paint. |
