going to be painting this at some point:




a boyhood dream realised  





and just for fun

I was going to say how good that super looks with the mages but the Shopper superb

The Shopper looks the dog's. In theory It shouldn't work, But it just looks fantastic.

the shopper does look pretty smart - didn't connect anything up to actually ride it, suspect a bit of tinkering and part switching required!  

bit dissapointed at how these pics have come out though  :/

tried uploading again

shopper looks tops, am gonnae go & stick my set on some stuff, pics up soon.

nice 1 mate!!!!!!!!!!!

my vektar mags on my MKII silver, they look a lot whiter in the photo!, at least it got me a start on taking parts & cleaning them from the silver (cheers gli for the push ), took it for a spin & those wheels run smooth, New 1 got into the photo shoot as it's been stuck at the back of the garge gathering dust,
those mags mibee go onto new 2 once done, to many things in bits & started without an end product  

Anyone tried dyeing the vektar wheels ??  i'd be interested to see if it's possible

nice work gus - that silver is looking smart with those mags on!  also noticed your white brake blocks      did you end up bleaching your mags at all - they look fantastic in the pics!!

i'd also be interested to see any dyeing results yoda - still got some staining on the awkward to reach parts

no bleaching, just look a little bit better than they are in the photo, still they are pretty good so probably will leave them!!!

probably for the best - bleaching/soaking/scrubbing ain't no fun    

yep, does'nt look much fun, definately going to leave mine  

no, new 1, gathering dust, gathering dust, its a bloody crime!!

not sure wot looks better new 1 or silver wi mags whatever happened to new 2 and grifterhawk

new 2 is still in debate , grifterhawk is just about ready for paint, just getting a seat sorted out?, been busy restoring a MK2 prizzie etc

cheers

I saw some mag dye for sale on the burner forum so it must work!
 

Vektar mags on my Mk1, temp situation!!!!!!

   looking good!  notice you've got your white brake blocks on too!

can't remember if i asked this before or not, but i found that the standard axle on the vektar mag was too wide to fit the grifter (xl & super) forks.  in the short term i swapped in a grifter front axle which just about worked.  did the mag fit straight onto your mk1 forks?

i had to file a tiny bit on the bottom of the fork, just a tickle!

aha! got that on my to-do list    the front wheels a bit wobbly with the wrong size axle in
