Great ingenious engines. Unfortunately he doesn't apply his mind to the suspensions and brakes.  :doh:

Agreed but the whole point of Allen's transformations are to make them look as if they were original "lost" factory prototypes, it's not done to increase performance, that's just a happy by-product.
Keep the rubber side down.          Mick

However, he is more than capable of making the rest of a bike too.  He  has made his own frames, fairings, brake drums etc when he deems it appropriate.  Have you seen his 6 cylinder Honda race bike replica?  Awesome! Hand made frame, engine alloy fuel tank, seat and fairing, exhausts etc. He also made his front brake double sided drum system.  I think he made the frame and cycle parts for his massive Aero engine V twin.  He's also a very nice chap to talk to.  I wish I had an ounce of his skills!

I have a 2003 GSX1400 owned since new (Blue and White of course).  I have a 1977 Suzuki GT380 cafĂ© racer and A Japanese import Yamaha XG250 Tricker.  I'm interested in anything mechanical.  Was an aircraft technician / inspector, but I took early retirement - because I could!
