Engine In!

Big Tony came round this afternoon........he’s as big as a bear……….. and just picked up the engine..........and now its in! Southern Motors recommend torqueing down the engine bolts to 25Ib, but I will wait until the transmission, engine and rear are all aligned before I do this. Have also fitted the oil tank and battery box, which sits on rubber mounts.

Won't tighten any bolts untill Tranny and Engine are connected.

Wiring the Front End Part 1

LoBoy Bobber Blog

Im cracking on with the front end at the moment, getting the wiring together, drilling holes, fitting indicators, installing the handle bar switches etc.

Fitting the switches was straight forward, just remember which is left and right!!

I dont really want indicators, but I need them to get through the SVA test, I will have to put an orange filter over them.

Drilled 4x 10mm holes in the handle bars to hide the switch wiring.

Another Old Sporty

Just checking out the archive’s and found another one of my old Sportys, bought this off Ebay and ran it for a couple of years.......great little bike, sounded great.
