Wow! Insane pass. Laser straight, and bike seems to hook up perfectly.

Wow, great build! Can you elaborate on what filler rods you used?
I have acquired a bronze welded '77 Rickman CR900 frame that was a cracked race bike, repaired and much more substantially braced by previous owner John Cordona of Fours 'N More fame (many of his builds were featured in magazines in the 80's), & modified with GS1100E engine mounts... he unfortunately passed away before finishing this project, & it has been sitting in his friends' shop in storage for around 15 years or more now... I plan to build a vintage road racer oriented bike out of it, but need to finish the engine mount work and gussetting.
How's the new engine or old engine upgrade going? That is a very fast machine... great job on the feame, and everything!'77 GS750 920cc heavily modded

Hi, i used Sifbronze 101 rods, (contain manganeese and tin i think). Very nice to use especially with an inline gas flux unit and should be prefect for your repair.
Engine upgrade may wait until i've reached the limits of this one. I'll see in the new year which way i fancy going with it - the parts are sat here waiting.... tempting me, but it does seem to be going great as it is!Comment

Nice to see the link to your blog.
A good way to keep track of your trials and tribulations.2@ \'78 GS1000Comment

Dredging up an old post alert
I don't come in here often but wanted to add a little update to this post. Basically, since the last update the bikes remained exactly as i built it, and has run almost flawlessly throughout the 2016 season, up until the final round when the magnet in the ignition rotor/pickup fell out mid race. It's been a very successful season for a new bike, winning all but one national event this year and winning the ACU (British) Funnybike
championship. Not bad for a shed built 35year old engine!
Best Time is now a 7.13
Best mph is 186
Best 60ft is a 1.05
More to come i feel.
Take a ride with us....
