I know the RHS is the impressive one - how are those wheels held on ? Shocked

But I think the other side looks better. Cool

Have to agree about the bodywork Tom. It'd make a cool mini-streetfighter though. Better start looking for a crashed one... Wink

Absolutely stunning and unique - all that technology applied to a humble stroker - I love it Exclamation

Ugly little bugger though........... Very Happy

Yeah, it's shocking isn't it?! :pukeright: I love it!! Green Grin

There was a danger that it was going to get wheeled out of the van and put on the stand to confuse the punters at Stafford, but I'm not sure I can stand that much abuse over one weekend - and I don't want the bike to get a bloody complex!

Mind you, just think how great the others would have looked alongside it! Better hope everyone shows though as I still have room in the van alongside the NSR!!!

You have been warned! Wink

Hi

Another CX owner here. Well, we have 3. One complete, one rolling chassis with most parts to fix (although I am toying with doing something different with it) and another for parts (bent fork).

Complete one we brought back from Italy in May 1991.

All the best

Hi Keith
post some pics of your bikes! Very Happy

If you need bits to repair the damaged bike, Bob Wright brought a complete fork assembly (minus damper etc) to Stafford last year for me to have a look at - said he wanted around £200 for it.

Hi

Bikes are too crammed in the garage at the moment.

I migth get another fork leg for it, although usually I have been told the frame has a habit of cracking on the CX after a front end accident.

Spoke to Bob about a week ago at Stafford. I might source some grp bodywork for the CX from him (the stock bodywork has gone very brittle with age).

All the best

Keith

Hi

Could do, but the postage would be a killer.

Guy in Germany also makes some panels:-

Think Bob might get some in and if so that would save on postage.

All the best
