It should look a lot better once the fairing is fitted and I have made another oil tank for it. I am still waiting for the original frame maker in the UK to send me the drawings for his style oil tank and the original fairing mounts and then I'm away.
She'll then go to the track now and again for fun...during the week. Not really interested in being carved up by young guys on worn out RD's...taking out your front wheel in the turns etc.
Just want to have fun!

I think that I posted a pic or two of it on the photo's page.
I'll check.
I haven't finished doing it up yet.
The frame, tank were made in Bethersden, Kent, by Dave Camier in around '79-'80 or so for SOS racing...hence the Dave Camier Motorcycles (DCM)...tag. This one ended up over here in Aus as a cafe racer for a while...I am converting it back to what it should be...
It's a nice thing, and should be fun to ride once I get it all sorted...now it'll be a play bike for me to use on the local track.

Went to the post classic bike races held near here at Wakefield Park yesterday...good racing.
Besides the usual machines there were two SR500's running around...
SR500 riders Wizz954 and Greg were there...both looked great at speed in the 1 hour race...well done guys!
Rick got a pretty good lap time as I recall...1:16 or so...fairly quick. I think you probably need to re-engineer that exhaust megga stay though mate...heh, heh... ;D
Send me your e-mails and I'll forward some pics to you.
The race machines has rekindled my interest in doing up my Honda 900...aargh...it's only money I guess!

Great fun had by all and we took out 3rd overall in the Forgotten Era 1 Hour and the fastest lap at 1:15:94, not bad against the competition. CB900 came first and RD400 second.
Yeah yeah... exhaust strap was a bit bodgy and it broke and fell off 5 laps before the end of the race but I didn't realise until after the race. I though it was just undercarriage grounding at Turn 9 which is very bumpy.
Race results should be published at www.natsoft.com.au some time during the week.
...Err...well not 'the red and white 900', to clarify I meant the silver one...a very nice machine...I need to talk to that guy to see where he got the forks etc. from...they didn't look like 900 forks to me. The wheels were Suzuki 17" mags...
One thing with Tingate systems...they really work well and sound great.
