Seat sorted

A patch cut out to support the centre and then cut to expose the diamonds down the spine.  Then glued to join the split and attach the patch, job done.

Jones 60 mph

Spare Jones speedometer. The higher the mph range, generally the later the unit.

Jones 50 mph speedometer

Lovely rare teens 50 mph Jones speedometer came on the 8X but its another job that needs doing.
Luckily the speedo head doesn't need repair but the cable does.  It's fiddly but should be repairable otherwise I will need to fashion a complete new cable and then attach the ends.

It really is a lovely part.  But again I have a spare so the owner won't need to worry about speeding tickets!

Persons seat repair

I just got this 12 single in.  The seat is torn and needs repairing.  I have a spare; exactly the same barring the name tag, so the bike will still be ride-able.  It shouldn't take long after I get the patch sorted.

But I got the Vincent back from Rod recently and I need to get some miles on the new clutch, can't do everything!

Excuses

No posts recently as I've been away riding in the USA for the last few weeks.  Always a treat, this time from Chicago via Milwaukee and then out West through the farmlands and up through the Rockies.

Over 400 photos, too many.  Highlights of the trip were the HD Museum and the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa.  Utah is bleak, no gas stops for 120 miles after Grand Junction, Colorado, then another 110 after Green River, need to fill up.

I'll sort the good early bikes and post some.
