being skint and old bikes dont mix

This is the carcass of the bike I'm trying to do. M20 frame and a B31 engine. The tank was designed and made for the b31 I had. But It will fit this one with a mod here and there. It is all made of alloy. It seems to be a one step forwards two steps back situation tho. I.e getting this far and possibly having to sell the lot to pay rent ha ha.
I have partially compete girder for the front also.
I consider seling this and any other stuff I have for one rideable jap bike.

BSA folding airborne parabike for paratroopers

I had this old BSA airborne folding Paratroopers bicycle. It was sold and went to a good home. The top picture is when it was in My possession. The bottom picture is what the new owner quickly did to it. A good job was done bringing this piece of military history back to life. WW2 folding Military Parabike.

Which telescopic forks fit Honda c90 cub?

Especially for people who are scouring google for that answer. As I was.
Here is the answer.
Which telescopic fron forks fit honda c90's? Answer = cg 125, most cb's up to 125.
There are others that are much harder to come by. Cd50 etc but those are less common in England.
The cg and cb front end's have a larger front wheel than the cub so that could be an issue. I am going to try mating a cub front wheel to the cg forks. In this pic I have cb100 forks with a cub wheel jammed in for tests. The cb 100 forks were off a later disk model and I don't want the disk.

O.K Supreme


These O.K Supreme bikes have been knocking around for yonks. As early as 1882
the company Humphries and Dawes Ltd had a shop in Birmingham producing bicycle parts under the Criterion
Trade mark. In 1906 they did a bit of motorcycle dabbling using an SOS engine which they manufactured
on behalf of the company Smith's O'Saltley.
They were involved in many things in the following years, including racing motorcycles in the isle of Mann TT's
and making bomb fuses during world war 1?(On Two Wheels vol 6)

The company Humphries and Dawes used a few different engines
