The 'Shed' is looking good and on course but unfortunately won't be running in time for July UK meet. Low budget, slow build plan.

Got a local specials builder to make me a bolt on subframe that wraps around original bolting onto main frame then unbolts when not needed.
[Cameron. Can e-mail you pix if you want. How's the rebuild coming along?]

The seat was recovered at leightons in Birmingham, highly recommended. Their sales prevention guy insisted on talking me out of new foam as the original stuff was ok... it was too.

The electrics...
I was all set to have a go myself but being colour blind and no mechanic I decided to do what I do best and earn money to put an expert on the job.
Phil Kingston at Euro Classics in Northampton received the 'shed' yesterday and we discussed the work needed.
Cannot recommed this guy enough, old style mechanic, been working on airheads for donkeys years and just listening to him talk about them filled me with confidence. I made the right decision for sure.

Incedentally I mentioned this site and he had not heard of it and hopefully will be coming to the travellers meeting in July. If he does come along on his r80g/s you can see for yourself what a well sorted simple utilitarian bike can eventually look like.

Have contact details regarding all above but not sure about posting/advertising on here so can e-mail back if anyone contacts me
