My Motomag finally done
«

This one has taken a while to get all the bits I needed. As close to original spec as I could get, the 1980 catalogue has the chrome bars, crank etc, just the tuf's, but I understand that some dealers sold with these rather than the MMII's.
Still not sure whether to run it with motomags that I have or not, but quite hp with it as is
1980 frame was the starting point, touch of the Don's good work and we were away
Nos forks, tuf 1's, tyres, grips, seat post, pedals and chain, the rest are used parts.
In time for the May competition

Lush, very lush
Little tip Paul, on the coaster bracket to prevent it from scratching the frame put some wiring heatshrink over it and heat it up so it's nice and tight - no more scratches
. That's what I did on my Scorpion

Thanks lads,
The forks were from Alan's. The frame was the starting point a tired seat stay - chain rubbed 25 quids worth from US ebay!!
The bracket for the coaster does have a rubber adhesive stuck on the inside of the bracket
I know what is next, just need to get the Don to work on some forks and I'm good to go again.
