It needs a little work, removed the Carbon Company end cans, had some welding done on the originals and refitted them, just needs painting when it warms up a little.
I`m awaiting a new Hagon shock, then i can fit the original swing arm and linkage as it has a Trophy? set up on it.
I have a centre stand to fit when the swing arm is fitted.
And finally for now, i`ve done the front fender mod.
Big thanks to Eric ( AERONCA) for the bracket and hardware :D

The bike now sits a good inch lower with original swing arm and shock, although the second hand shock i bought needs a rebuild or i might just buy a new Hagon.
Woho, not long now :new_popcornsmiley
Now you will need some serious therapy like the rest of us :new_all_coholic
What was the black cylinder with the two jubilee clips around it above the footrest that appeared in the the middle photos but wasn't on the first or last? :?

that;s the remote reservoir for the new/old steamer shock :oops:
I believe he is missing the cylinder head mount for it at the moment............
Thanks, you're up a bit early aren't you? I've just had my usual Sunday brunch of Bacon butties... :lol:

Yup, its missing the mounting bracket, which is on its way.
I also need to order a new chain guide and a rub block, and send the shock off for a rebuild.
