Now finished with original acerbis side panels and refurbished original rear springs

I suppose I should ride it now.....

I have painted an SWM plastic tank and the fuel vapours dont bubble the paint off, not sure on Jumbo tank but would think its made of the same plastic by Acerbis?

Hi Ross

On and off it 's taken about a year, I have the Marzochi's all refurbed sat in my shed, I could'n't resist the Betor Forks brand new from Martin M

I still have the Marzochi yokes, I am told they are better handling than the betor yokes

Had to make the chain guard, its amazing how many parts you end up with once you start

Hi Woody

sorry mate thats not my bike, I used to have a Jumbo back in 1983 best bike I ever had, I want another one and would have another tommorow if I could, but not many about these days, so I had to settle for a TL320 to restore for now.

Dave Dawson has my progress on his website along with his projects http://www.classicrider444.com/category/bike-projects

Below is a picture what the stand bracket should look like, the other picture looks like a bit of a repair to me, its in the right place but i wonder if it would have been better fastned to the swing arm from the other side so you could not see any screws?

Does your clutch cable go to a lever mechanism on the cylinder head first and then another cable to the clutch case? As i remember that was to lighten the clutch and should work

drop Martin M an email he knows SWM's inside out, I have found him very helpfull

Cheers Rob
