spud1968 Posted April 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) I only got the orange rim on tge front so far. Picked up tge motor yesterday...... 263cc using an offset ground crank pin. Will get it running at the weekend. You will effectivly have dropped 10 piints at start of day one without gold rims L Your going big with a 263cc i'm still standard at 212cc. Hey, some fancy language there Lee (Offset ground crank pin) that kinda talk is pornographic...lol. So what size carby? You now the saying "the bigger carby the bigger the riders......"..lol So now yours is bigger than mine, if your interested, i fired my small bore Fantic up today. All is okay so far she's reving nicely and ticks over. first ride tomorrow at a practise day. had a brief ride in my back garden and it didn't fall to bits. I've fitted some 1970's 7.5inch bars so no more fat bars. 300 brake plate with new shoes and a new seat. The seat is fitted without welding the frame because i don't have a welder. 243 forks and yokes and 243 electrics, lots of changes from what it was perhaps too many changes i should have done one at a time. Tomorrow's ride is important! The wife recons its looks nice but said i should get a gold muffler to go with the gold rims! The most important information for you to know is i've used not one but 'Two' cans of Halford's finest aerasol spray and if you don't get both your wheels sorted you'll be buying all the drinks Friday night!. So now you know what i've done i'll be expecting a very trick and well sorted Fantic from you old chap because i'm no engineer and i've got chocolate spanners....lol Edited April 2, 2011 by spud1968 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spud1968 Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Looking good..... All thats needed now is some Team Fantic t-shirts. Sorted the front brake the cam was not releasing. Will have another look at the rear shocks the rebound is a little to bouncy. What rear shocks have you fitted and springs?

Woody the first day (Saturday}is at a place called Cove near Tiverton come off the M5 at j27 head into Tiverton on the A361 then look for the A 396 to Minehead after about 3 miles just follow the orange arrows round the little winding lanes and you cant miss it.

woody Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Thanks Daz Another question - has anyone who has entered received any confirmation of entry yet, entry list or whatever. I've received nothing yet and my cheque hasn't been cashed. Again, don't want to pester the secretary as he probably has enough to do this week, but I'll have to phone if I've heard nothing in the next couple of days. I've never ridden this event before so don't know what the norm is for entry confirmation etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
