Another great looking build. So that makes like four bikes now? I wish I had just 10% of your drive. Well done.

Thanks for the comments gents. One thing that really strikes me is how SMALL and cramped this thing feels when I sit on it. No place to relax, no place to lounge. And I am only 5’9”, 170 lbs. MikeV

Fantastic!!!.
Little more to say.

Great job Mike!
What’s next.
Yes they are small but such a treat to ride!

Proof it runs. Seven full sessions at Portland International Raceway on Sunday 10/4. Photos are early in the morning and at the end of the day. No on-track photographer there.

A few small adjustments made at the track, and some to do back home. I will follow up on the latter in a day or so. And offers comments on the Avon tyres and the 16/18-inch wheel combo.





I have no idea how in the hell these photos got upside down. Spies? Hackers?

It looks great but you and I have a problem with the color of the rims

New sticker. Well, I really like these Avon Roadriders. Sticky when they were installed, and sticky when I came home. Really hard to say these are inferior to a good radial (not a race radial and tire warmers).

I did get the sensation of the bike wanting to stand up if I tried to brake with a slow lean in or slowing in the middle of a curve. What I read about the 16-inch front in every book or mag, and like my first and all-stock F1. But that is not the tires. They made me comfortable on a new bike.

Track Day at Pacific Racways 7/9/2021

Everything on this bike is good and ready to go with but one exception; the wet clutch is not along for the ride. It is one or two thousand RPMs behind on the straights in fourth and fifth gears (it will pull 10,000+ if I could let it). I have to baby it heading into even short straights now. And that is after inspecting the clutch, going to the heavier springs (2.70mm diameter vs. 2.45mm), and changing to a different wet-clutch specific oil. I have now added another driven plate to the inside of the stack, and changed to another oil. We will see. After more reading I see this is a common problem with these wet clutches, even on the more modern bikes. Starting to consider converting to a dry clutch, but really would like use the parts and keep some of the originality of these Pantah engines. Anyway, here are a couple of shots for "proof that it runs". MikeV

Very nice bike, everything works perfectly?
Much work has been done !!! !!!

All good but my slipping wet clutch Carlo. MikeV
