The first of our SS50's is finished (and sold) it is still at the shop if you want to see it. The next one is well on the way, it's running now and the paintwork is nearly done. The third SS is also been assembled at the same time, we are considering making a "trials" version for this one!

The RD 400 is done at last, it sounds superb! No time to MOT and final road testing because we are taking to the Stafford show this weekend (15/16th Oct) We have a stand this year in the middle of the main hall next to Z-Power. Our stand will have 6 bikes, all for sale : RD400C (£3595), GT250 X7 2 off (£1995/£1495) XS400 ((£1050) , NS400R (£3995), SS50 (£1495) We have a few free gifts and are offering a show discount of 10% for any cash buyer. Drop by and say hello if you are going.

Our Yamaha RD400c is very close to being finished. I sneaked a quick ride on it today (only up to 5,000rpm) and it rides great! Main jets were for K+N filters, so I will have to change them to match the standard air box and filter. New sealed battery will be fitted tomorrow, this will give me room to fit the Piranha ignition unit in the same space as the battery. This will also prevent any future acid spills/stains. Dave is painting the side panel and we await its return.

The Thruxton is finished  (for now)  Karen will use the bike for the remaining summer and think about other mods after this. Single "Smiths" speedo was used to help keep the simple clasic look. It has turned out very nice without a massive spend and turns heads with its "classic look".

The engine is back in the frame, Oil pump service kit has arrived and will be fitted before using the pump. Just a few more parts to fit after the engine covers have cured.
