Done more work to her last night & this morning
Brake lines & pads all round, fluids, All lock wiring, Shim the thermo fan that was touching the radiator, double check all bolts & fuel up.
Started after a few cranks.... sweet music to the ears... checked & no leaks let her get up to temp & give her a few revs everything is sweet ..... into first gear .... perfect run through the gears & all seems to be ok.... but wait what is this? there is runout in the back wheel BUGGA the rim has a runout of 6mm, this will be the last thing to sort before track time

Very Nice Roberto, you need a shortie can on it mate !!

'scuse my ignorance, but what does that mean? ie what's runout?
The bike looks tops Rob, always impressed with people who can put a bike together like that.
With those pics Cath will be pestering Dave#3 real hard now to get hers sorted
ty

i think a runout means the back wheel is a little buckled??

i think

Thats right Wattie She's warped!
Looks like the previous owner had backed it into a gutter hence the damage
Only a little setback but.

Awesome job there Rob

Rob, mate that is absolutely sensational!

Mate thats Filth Well done .

Senfarkinsational Rob 10 outa 10.

This smhick trackbike is adictive and popular

Yay got the wheel back & spun her up.... the result is perfect! Fitted the wheel & took her for the first spin round the block (factory units with no other tenants around)... it was fecking cold at 6.30am ...so let her warm up to bout 80deg, a few blats on the throttle gear up & go! 1st thing to notice is Phowwwrrrr watch the right wrist got a bit keen on a straight section and lofted the front wheel skyward
Got a bit of work ahead, probably a half day at work on a Sunday with no one around, to adjust the bars levers rearsets etc ... the sorta stuff you cant do to a static bike. Best things about today were the fact that the radiator did not leak & all the hard work is over more details to come

bastard...

That is awesome dude..... fantastic looking ride.

Oh to have the money to spare on such pursuits

Very nice Rob

Noones called you a bastard since Wattie two posts ago so....

Bastard..

As above.....

I concur with all with all above.

Looks great mate!
