one of the Konig bikes is a replica; the engines being built in Germany. it's 120bhp at the rear wheel on petrol and a massive 160bhp running Ethanol! if you want to know more about the Konig and its developement, there's a very good book called Kiwi on a Konig, which is about Kim Newcombe and his s...

Last weekend saw the chance to attend the Spa classic, mate of mine was riding a TR500 Suzuki, some interesting stuff to be seen, and being able to get really close to the bikes was great; we were in the garage with one of Mr V Rossi' chief tech's, you can guess which bike was his! he actually rode ...

depends where you go for your bits and bobs, CRC of course top of the tree when it comes to cheap and reliable. Hope fat/thin chain ring is about £40 odd quid I think and the 40 for the back about the same; shifter wont cost that much Shimano SLX being more than up to the task, add in an XT cassette...

I added a screen junked the whole exhaust system, chucked in a K&N and a solid solutions fuel thingy, mainly co's it just worked. the good bits, they tour well with the screen, and if you ad...

https://www.justgiving.com/Shane-Byrne1/ shameless plug really, my brother is riding this event with Shakey on the road bikes, the idea is a lap of brands, ride to Snetterton, lap there and finish at Silverstone; all in a day on a road bike...hmmm, easy you say, that's a road bike of the pedal versi...

Hey Gus, mate... that's bad news. perhaps we should crowd fund your engine build? Get a Boxertrix paint job and away..

let me know if you need anything to help out.. I know a good engine guy in the UK (ex BMW) who could sort the motor for you.. well, I could ask anyway

cheers

Ty

hope all is well, Hammerite smooth perfect match, even thinking of painting mine black to match the rest of the motor come the winter...

Safe travels Gus, Brno gets pretty warm, have fun and keep her pinned!
