Ok. Got it to work this time
Last time I tried to register I got blocked at every turn. Worked tonight.
Now. Been buying a new project bike.
First off I bought a collection of all the parts that make up a motorcycle without it actually being a motorcycle. It turned out to be some sort of weird bastardisation between a 1959 Enfield Meteor Minor, a 1991 350 bullet and a 2003 500 bullet which had undergone final assembly by a fully retarded hipster wannabe with a small welder and a worlds supply of flatbar.
SO
That's a double, single leading hub on the front. The mudguard is attached to the swingarm. The chainguard is attached to the frame. The engine is a 350 with a 500 barrel. It has a 1959 clutch and gearbox bodged onto a 1990's engine... I could go on but the ultimate piece of fuckwittery was definately the two, 1/2" pieces of piston ring in the bottom of the crankcases.
So I bought an Indian Take-away from a shed behind fire and friends in Nottingham. Fucked big-end, dismantled then forgotten about. It is 100% what it claims to be.
Properly reassembled fuckwit engine is going in this frame and getting sold. THEN we'll get down to making the remaining bits do 100mph!
Wanted. Standard bullet forks.
Anyone want to buy a 1959 meteor minor pre-unit gearbox?

the evidence suggests that you bought a bike built by Uncle Nate!
