Q plate - isn’t all bad. MOT is less strict (or it used to be when I had mine) Everyone on here is old enough not to worry about insurance costs and MOTs are easy to ‘acquire’. So it’s just the benefit of free RFL which is appealing. I’ve been looking again at Novas again. I’d quite like a...

Still looking for M950 levers in nice condition M951 brake pad holders x 2 ( 1 brake) M951 black v brake bolts x2 (have XT silver if needed) Desperate for a nice black 25.4 bar circa 1995-1997 Also after a black shallow riser bar such as X lite x country or maybe Azonic Saddles - I...

At 18 I had a 2.0 16v Nova. It was a built engine with throttle bodies and a stand alone ecu making around 220hp It was also porsche pepper mint green , caged , bucket seats etc It was insured as a 1.0 nova in red / taxed as one. I got pulled over and instructed to take it to be inspected...

No idea to be honest as I’ve never had anything old enough for classic. My knowledge of this kind of thing is from 15-20 years ago. What’s the benefit of classic status? My fire blade engined car was cheap tax and only £150 to insure at 19 years old back in 2004 ish

Did they change the rules as previously they didn't need a IVA (or SVA ) ? Someone who built me a engine used to build the sub frames to mount them. He also used to do kits to fit a XE engine but they were simply too heavy and needed a dry sump too. Lots of friends had mini's in all...

Just put a hayabusa or R1 in the back and be done (and turbo it)

Yeh they've found there way onto my LTS now. My plan is to go crossmax with smoke/dart on the orange one as.

Yeh I was super careful. Lots of checking and slow progress. The cup has had the relief channel added so hopefully will be fine The 97 headset i was more concerned about cracks. As obviously the material is well known to crack on other brands too. I actually turned the headset cups down so...

The skinwalls behind it are actually destined to be used. I just need to find some more Crossmax as these are off my F3000sl.

Yep still a thing.

Tried some Crossmax from another bike which have Yellow fire XC. I think it’s too much maybe

It’s not mine but I can ask. The whole frame is available if needed as it’s all ok. He’s just using all the parts on another bike. Pm me if you want me to put you in contact for buying the frame or front triangle

I picked up a cheap Zesty 314 yesterday for a mate who wanted it for a donor. Would you be interested in buying a front triangle?
