Title: BSA 250 x XT600E + 7 other donors!
Post by: themoudie on June 16, 2019, 09:56:52 PM

Spent a very chilled weekend at the 'Bob Mac' racing weekend at East Fortune racing circuit, adjacent to the Scottish Museum of Flight at East Fortune. Excellent racing, plenty of tuneful pipes and some good craic with old friends and acquaintances.

This wee beastie showed up and is constructed from a BSA B25 frame, Yamaha XT600E motor, Ducati forks with twin discs, ZXR9 rear swing arm converted to twin shock, Ducati wheels, Motogadget electrical setup, twin pipe, with mega, exhaust system and a recovered cheap Chinese seat, along with other bits and pieces including Alfa-Laval milking machine stainless steel parts!

Lovely percussive 'bark' and appeared to go very nicely thank you. Dream on!  ;D

Good health, Bill

A swingarm conversion to twin shocks is a new one on me - thanks for sharing.

Absolutely gorgeous, the real essence of what a thumper should be in my opinion. Isn't it wonderful that some people are clever enough to build bikes like that? I could see myself floating off round the lanes on that very happily.

Still gorgeous! The only thing I would change would be the owner.
