J Range Special

Postby Rich Oswald » Thu Oct 20, 2016 1:07 pm

Got a new project underway at the moment. Dry build done, engine being built as we speak and rest going off to painters shortly. Don't want to give too much away at the moment but this is going to be something very Special.

Interesting! Not a standard J Range motor I suspect. I look forward to further posts.

Loads of work gone into this already. Part of an LI frame welded in to the Monocoque chassis to carry the series 3 engine. Part of the J frame removed for greater engine compartment access and therefore the panels needed to be lengthened. Series 3 forks welded to J stem so that S3 10" wheels (Sip tubeless) and hydraulic disc can be utilised. Building a 230 Mugello Ultimate to go in there. The square hole in the legshields is for easy cable access and will be closed with a petrol flap and covered by the legshield toolbox which has had loads of work to get it to fit.
Can't wait myself for it to be done, it's gonna be megga. You will love the paint but gonna keep that under my hat for now.

A bit more fabrication done. Forks tried in and disc brake fitted. Master cylinder took about two days to get right.

Very cool indeed though I wouldn't like to change a spark plug on it , are you planning to have a Vespa ET4 style inspection door fitted so you can access the plug easier? Paul

Plenty of room to change the plug Paul, that's why the panels have been extended. As for ET4, I ain't got a feckin clue mate.
