    Passion for oxidisation maybe.


    Do you reckon the rear wheel turns?

    I totally get the "know your limits" thing but even I can oil a fucking chain. Often with bonus oil on floor and tyre. MORE IS BETTER.

    I suspect the new Falsher Relay and Keyster Screw will give it the extra power needed to spin the drive bars.

    although interesting, it is about 4k overpriced and pretty much only ever going to be good for a track bike…

    Another one that's got to the end of what some people seem to find the enjoyable part of these projects, shopping for shiny parts, then realised it's going to be hard and require some actual skill to make it into something useful.

    It would be interesting to know if it ever ran like that, or if it's just someones attempt at a bodge from years back that got shoved in the back of the shed.

    One thing that does intrigue me though looking at the photos, when did the customary side for a chain on a motorcycle swap from right to left?

    after the cb22/77. the Cb350 etc were conventional for Honda they also played with it on the other side arround 81-82 on the cr125 and i think 250/450 Hondas.
    On the dreams they has a massive front brake and a 2ls rear in that era but only useful std on a Aemacchi or Vincent or Hardly.
    plenty of euro bikes ran right side drive right up until the last of the real husabergs and husky's.
    Late triumphs and Norton run the right side drive so they can retain a old looking primary and timing side covers (pommy bike ran inboard countershaft sprokets behind the clutch. No one would put up with that now.

    That bike is simply a YDS3 frame hacked and a Honda put in. it was rego'ed like that by the look of it. but they never care about the engine only the frame.

    That motor was essentially the one that Laverda copied with their 750 and they also had the chain RHS as well as gear lever
