Re: In for an engine overhaul
Better late than never, here are some pics.



60 mm tube is used to join the rear and front suspensions, which are 1070mm apart. This obviously depends on the body one uses.

brake pedal going forward to the booster

bottom half of front uprights going to handlebar coupling

top half of front uprights

steering arms and bottom steering bearing. You can also see the Master cylinder at bottom right.

Gear lever out of top of body

Clutch pedal

Petrol tank frame above gearbox
