Hi Brian, thanks for the offer, I see there are a few places advertising them but they too are out of stock. If I cant get a fellow VMCC member to make one soon I will have to wait for one of yours as Ive had the bike a while and the insurance company are chasing me to settle the repair.

I tried selling a Velocette LE basket case for £400, that had a good frame, an engine that turned over, complete bike in bits with 4 wheels, spare engine , spare heads, 2 or 3 spare gearboxes and ...
