I agree , did anyone notice the flat slide carbs ?

I didnt notice,there are kits made for later model SS so its probably that,
maybe Grant might get inspired by the FI 860,from my experiance playing with old bikes is a slippery slope,it never ends

Thanks Guys, hey Vince, you are spot on, once you start you cant stop.
I dont know exactly where the NCR replica will end up, but I know its undergoing further "development" just to keep me broke and intrigued.

Im keeping the SS fairing till after the Barry Sheene meet and then all the lights etc come off , the factory NCR fairing goes on (including bracketry i am making from old photos) and as far as the engine goes, I like the flatslides on the bike thats for sale, but maybe I will look for a set of the 41mm malossi modded carbs that Gowy had back in the 80's. That would make it closer to an original.

I noted the Aluminium swing arm on the bike for sale. The one I have has the underslung bracing, and Ive only ever seen one other with the bracing. It is a VTwo /early Brook Henry job I believe.

Ive now got the headers modded as well.
The never ending story.....
