I made some like this for mine.. only done the bottom yoke so far as got to decide what I want the top one to look like. Got a titanium spindle, titanium top nuts etc and titanium steering stops... the compulsory taper bearings and the rest is Aluminium.

Here is a dodgy pic before fitting it

and one or two of it on the bike fitted with the standard top yoke on till I make that..

It's almost there but not finished to the way I want it.. just want to throw the last bits on and get out there to ride it this summer as I can't wait for the paint job and all the other finishing bits when I look out the window at the sunshine... not only that I have the "other" project on the go and that is taking some of the funds, resources and more so the "excitement effort" put into it.

This bike has changed and changed again where I have other ideas and then I've stripped back down to get the single seat unit back off of it and convert it back to a tail tidy where I want the single seat unit on something else.. just seems endless tinkering. More of it has been done over the last two weeks or so as not touched it over the winter where I have been too busy at work.

It runs and sounds lovely etc., just got to put the fairing and bits back on and then the MOT and test/shake down ride to see what I have forgotten!!

To be honest you'll probably not even see most of the changes as I have tried to make them really discrete

i'd love to pop round for a gander mark, your like a better version of me, when i had my bike rebuilt, you change your mind so many times it's unreal, get it up and running for the summer and then over winter fine tune it to how you want it, thats my plan for the spondon bike.
you will certainly have a one off bike thats for sure..... :thumbup:
