been looking for a while for a 61 rear mudguard, no look , so thought about changing one to look like it, welded all the old holes up, and took the tags off, a channel was made and spot welded in place, a new hole in the centre of guard for the wiring. alan

just got the seat back, will need to tidy up around the base with a little welt, i could not find a 61 seat so changed a 62 pan to look like the 61, have a few of the rear 61 brackets, took off the spot welded one's, bolted the rear 61 brackets to the frame, the front one's just drilled and nuts and bolts welded in all round, then placed the pan on top and marked where it should go, took off all the sharp hooks that was left, could not find a trim grip so suck the cover on, stainless fixing's, just need to get the strap finished now..

That's a really super job. Is that a new trim or re-chromed / polished?

Alan, you just upped the ante for me. I was going to "touch up" the seat pan for my bike. After seeing how good yours looks, nope - I'm going to go all the way and do it right.
