Very nice bike. If I had the money one of those would definitely form part of the collection........but I dont. But it is lovely. I understand they are a total hoot to ride.

no tee jey, it is the standard one, albeit a modified one so it makes more noise as the standard one sounds like half a wv beetle. It is still too big I think. The one I am making is a cut down standard one that still employs the exup valve, ( the above one has the valve welded open so I have lost a bit of the urgency in midrange throttle openings ), but it is almost half the length of the above one. F**k knows if it will work, but it's worth a go and it will be unique as is the back end which was cut down and shaped by me. I know you can buy back ends that are cut down and other people have done their own but none will be the same as mine Individuality and all that

If only that were true. I have only used a 3" strip in the center of the tyre. The furthest I lean over is when I put the bike on the side stand.
