Thank you Matt and Pete. It has been hard work to get some bits.... Hopefully nearly all obtained now. Waiting on the seat to be recovered. Engine to be cleaned, painted & fitted. Carbs need rebuilding. Good job they put the show back otherwise I'd be struggling to finish it. Haven't heard if we have got a stand as yet...🙄

Black barrel, silver cases Ian... why? because it’s a classic combo, simple as that. Oh it’ll look the bees knees (IMVHO)

Block and inner cases now painted & engine back in the frame.  Outer cases, still to be decided upon. Possibly polished, or even painted, who knows where I will go with this. 😁👍

Wow, fantastic. I'd be tempted to keep it in the garage just to stare at it now and again...

Looking a pukka job Ian.

I'm still wrestling with Ducati cams etc, Morini transducers and chainsaw carburettors!

However, the SRX Mono and the Boy Bros have been out 'shopping' quite a bit lately.   ;)

Good health, Bill

Took the SRX to a Classic Car & Bike show at Capesthorne Hall on Bank Holiday Monday. I'm proud to say it won "Bike of the Show" 😁👍🏍.
