Hi everybody,
Thought it was about time I started a diary of my build, dspite the fact I still haven't got an engine for it...
Nevertheless, I started work on the cycle parts about a month ago and slowly getting through all the bits that I have or that are required...
I've been in touch with Tom, the SCTA tech man, he's been most helpful so far...
Also been reading about Desparate and Octane builds, they have given me a bit of insight for where I'm trying to go...
These cycle parts... The frame was done from my drawings some 20 years ago by a friend who worked at Kooter Brown, David Lindley. It used to house my 1954 KHK engine, then some old Sportsters. I haven't used it for a few years now, just about time it saw some action again!!!
I resurected from the shelves an H-D KR spool front wheel, all period and still with an -60R alloy rim, few stainless steel spacers done on my Myford lathe to fit in the Ceriani front end.
The back wheel is from a Metisse kit which is the 1st ever bit I bought when I arrived from France in GB back in 1985, it came with numerous alloy sprokets.
The plan is to built a KH engine for it and run a APS/VBF bike, on methanol, I'm just about to order the supercharger once I'm satisfied with my boost calculations!!!
