Know what it is yet?

#1 Post by Paulh » Tue May 26, 2009 4:35 pm

I was going through my spares collection and I think I've just about got enough bits to build a bike lying about in my shed (and with a little help from ebay).

I've got this far over the weekend (its all in the preparation apparently)

Hopefully I should have it done in a couple of months - can anyone guess what it is yet?

Hmmm...

Some sort of Yamaha delta-box frame thing?
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.

some kind of trial bike thingie


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

At the moment its a doorstop, but planning on getting the forks / swingarm / shock / wheels in this weekend. I'm trying to clean up / strip all the parts before it goes back together, but I'm not sure I've got the patience to make it immaculate and that would probably be a waste of time anyway.

I have a running engine to go in - still needs a bit of work though.


Viking is right with the make.
