Very Nice!.

Did you make those caliper adapters?

So, your racing organization makes you use 18-inch wheels, but lets you use the 41.6mm M1R forks?

Forks are ok for a year, adapters were done by a friend.
I received a work call so not much time for projects.
I managed to get the motor out of the house ready for install

Wow Paul, you have really made some changes. What size are the wheels? They look great. Is a 150 the biggest back tire that fits that swing arm? How does that pipe fit the fairing? If you've answered any of these sorry. Everytime I see your Moretti I get inspired to work on mine, just don't have the time yet. Lou

Lou, I ran a 160 Dunlop slick last year on a 17 inch rim.
The 150 Avon clears, but the chain rubs the tire so I have a little work to sort that out.
I did cut a little fairing away, close but ok now.
I can see by the photo you have some work to do!!
Paul

Yes Paul, I have a ways to go! What I end up doing is building stuff and then taking it apart again because I am not happy with what I've done. I have built a few bikes at least twice and one three times! My Moretti had the front end finished and the back end ready for spacing of the rear wheel. Decided to put on a different front end and wheels. Finally, in frustration I put it aside and started to build a TT1 racer. Got most everything done except the motor. Had to put that aside cause I was broke and took on a TT2 restoration so I can pay for my hobby. My bikes are on the back burner again. That's why the rolling shelves are full of parts. Lou

Wouldn't that be nice if Carlo could stop by and help when he's not busy! Thanks for the offer, I just put up a pot of coffee. You bring the pastries. Hey Pat, are you coming too? Everyone's welcome, 4 bikes need to get built. Lou
