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.
