Hi
Sorry don't have many spares but I'm always on the lookout so I'll let you know if I come across anything. If you haven't heard of him, look up Bob Wright Motorcycles on the web, he has a good ran ... |

I now feel it's safe to come clean & own up! I've always fancied a Nordwest since they were new , got this one a year ago. It's slowly being taken apart and restored. Can't make up my mind whet ... |

I was amazed/shocked to see it selling for over £500 - ... |

Erik,
I've managed to get hold of 1 rubber cushion for your rear brake line, if you want it (free) can you send me a private email with your address and I'll post it over to you.
Regards, Rob. |

Hi Charlie,
I'm still waiting for the exhaust can shrouds to come back , but it's been done as a bit of a 'when we've got a bit of spare time job' to try and keep the costs down. I like the ... |

Good morning Erik,
I'm looking forward to seeing what Dream Machine can do as well - I hope they are good at sticking broken bits of top fairing back together as mine is very cracked and broken aro ... |

Hi,
Here are a few photos taken yesterday with the bodywork loosely fitted. It's a mixture of original panels and new panels sourced over the last year or so.

Hi Erik,
I may be able to get you some of the rubber cushions for your brake lines - no promises, but give me a couple of days and I'll see what I can do.
Shame you can't make the Uttoxeter show b ... |

Hi Erik and good morning.
Thanks for the nice comments and yes it will be a bit of a shame to cover most things up with the fairing panels! I'm so used to seeing it this way!
