I have to say this race bike project would not of happened if it wasn't this forum and everyone on here, with their experience and help.
I have to say a massive thanks to Ben Luders. Without his love for these fantastic bikes I would of thrown the towel in long ago ... Thanks Bud !
I'm really looking forward to this years racing with the 250 Gp guys
Hopefully many of you will make the trip to the Donnington round this year, it would be great to thank you all in person.

You just need to get a couple of spacers machined up Dave and it fits straight in.

Thanks ARC ..... Dave, here is a link for the spacers you will need to fit an RGV Rear 17" wheel. Gives a better tyre choice although you will need to compensate in the front end for it.
