Progress - the 345

Slowly cracking on with the bike. The deadline for shipping is coming fast!

had a busy weekend getting everything sorted on the frame. and everyhting that attaches to the frame so I can get it ready for the chrome. Its been a bit of a mammoth task, but made big headways. I had to spend quite a while getting the inner primary and mounts sorted, but its all ready to be finish welded now (its firmly tacked for now)...

Show your Support - Peoples Champ 3 T Shirt fundraising

The deal with the competition has always been that I would be responsible for getting the bike to Born-Free should I get to the final 6. Now that i'm there i'm putting out a T Shirt that will help towards the shipping cost.

The design has been done by the very talented Sami Graystone of the Meat hook, and i'm sure you'll agree it looks awesome. Available in both white or black t shirts in the full range of sizes at www.the345.bigcartel.com

All profits help pay for the bikes shipping to the states and back.

Final 6 - I'm off to the states!

Well stone me - I've only made it to the last 6!

I'm off with the bike to Born-Free - got about a month to sort the bike, and will be flying out in 6 weeks!

Final 13!

I.m so late on this for the update, but found out about 2 weeks ago that I made the Show class magazines peoples champ last 13!

thanks so much for the the support and to everyone that voted. 

Next round photos need to be in next Monday, and this round will be judged by born free invited builders past and present. I'll find out my fate on the 1st May. Hopefully I can make it through and get to LA!!!

Primary and Clutch Progress

Chipping away with the bike - working on my "Metric Primary" a reverse of the imperial ribbed primaries. Also got the foot controls sorted on the clutch (left hand side) of the bike - modified Harley JD clutch mounted on tyre levers!

oil tank mount

Been cracking on with the bike. Its nice that I'm still not rushing and have the time to make nice parts. I made the mount for the front of the oil tank to look like the standard one. 3mm mild steel plate all cut and bent up.

Just a nice satisfying task to undertake really.
