You Sir, are a very lucky boy. And just to think that Santa wasn't due to pass you way for another 9 days yet. Double thumbs up for using Percy Verance to help upload yer photos. He's a good man to keep handy.

I'm not normally one for fancy builds (sports bike wise), but am looking forward to following where this one goes! :clap: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I think you now need a well earned few jars of electric soup.
If it ain't broken...f*ck about with it until it is.

whilst you have some great bits on the bike, i think the swinger looks like an Isarmbard Brunel reject ( spelt wrong) however the other bits make it look great. I actually liked the Storm swinger with a subtle brace. Good find and you will be playing with it for months i feel. :thumbup:

To be totally honest there's nothing to trick about them them as it's only the frame and swinger...oor err, swinger. As Stephen mentions the engine I do believe they did have mori engines fitted originally so it's worth having a good look at this. At least remove the airbox and have look to see if it's been ported. You never know it may even be a mori lump, now that would be nice. I see it still has standard cct's fitted. What makes the spondons so special now is their rarity. IIRC there was only 6 of them made. I personally think you should try to get it looking as it originally was as much as possibly even down to the colour. I've been trying to find a pic of what they originally looked like but with no luck :(

If you want it to look like yeti's you better start saving and hunting on the jap auction sites as you won't find the bits on the western world only Asia (lots of good sh1t over there (jonsey might be able to help there )
