Well finally got around to posting some pics of my series 1 . A bit of history i bought it last year from Colin in Derby with Help from Mr Grant viewing for me in the Derby area :D , its a 1959 series 1 i got it with nearly everything except the engine , rear footboards , air scoop and frame leg for rear footboard which i managed to source from other people , I took a few things of a scooter i sold to cut down the costs ie , Front outboard disc , Long range tank , SLJ Throttle wheel etc . The engine in it is an RB22 with one of JB's corsa cranks wit a Yam 110 rod and welded , 5 plate J B Clutch , 35mm tmx mikuni with Jimmers inlet manifold , NK Exhaust , push down tensioner , GP200 box (Indian), BGM 120w stator with DC conversion (thanks Byron) lightened Indian Flywheel , MTEC A/R unit . Still in the set up stages with the engine, with all the Wiring to sort out , added BGM Front and rear dampers as well , i will get some time on it but been a little busy with other peoples scooters :D .

Still got a few more tweaks to do re routing cables for MB adjuster block and wiring then hopefully get it MOT'd then registered before they shut the DVLA offices and get some miles on , it will be a rusteration for a year or so , specially with my current work situation :(
