Bike No2 joins the Rocket 3 in Jagster's garage.....

That’s a dam fine choice, looks awesome.

Thanks mate......I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't excited about seeing how it finally turns out......Going to be a long few weeks with my fingers crossed.

The guy I took the work to, replied to the question I asked as I was leaving his workshop.....what is the lead-time?

He answered by saying that he was on holiday in seven days or so......going on a two wheeled off-road excursion in the Pyrenees mountains.
Plan is to start it when he gets back....
I'm hoping he gets back in one piece.....Doe's that make me selfish?

I’m rebuilding an A65, gave the cylinder head to an engineering company in September. They do quality work so are exceedingly busy, he said he’d try and get it done by Xmas, still waiting!

Local to you?
I think they call it 'Norfolk time'

I hope you get it back eventually. Can't rush quality, you know..

South Suffolk, Seager Engineering. He produces some real quality kit, for example Commandos have a screw in exhaust pipe retainer. He produces his own finned design and supplies a anodised alloy spanner to go with them.

Sounds like the place to go, for professional work

Have you used Draganfly in Bungay in recent years?
Just wondering.
A friend of mine used to work there in the early 90's, so I was always in and out of that place whenever we visited him and his Mrs. There was always something interesting going on there in the workshop.
He sadly passed away due to Leukemia late 90's and i've never been back to that shop since.

Still there ….. like a veritable Aladdin’s Cave. I’ve got most of my bits from them, except the stuff I’m using to RestroMod it.

Well, I thought bike no: 2 was a bit special, but it appears as though it's been showcased by the man who created it and built it.
He just happens to be the founder and owner of the company.
The bike feels a whole lot more special to me now.

Here's the BikeExif article with my bike in it.

Request Line: A Bottpower Buell XB12 built to spec

Yes....It's going to be a bit of a handful. In a good way.
Certainly a bigger power to weight ratio than the Rocket, but less rubber on the road. Sharper, much quicker steering.
A completely different beast to ride than the Rocket.
Not sure if the front tyre will ever wear out, unless the roads have endless corners
