Original for sure, the Tyga PG kits only ever look "right" IMO on the newer MC28's. The older frame and especially the RWU forks, etc just don't suit it. Guy in Cape Town has a MC28 with proper USD forks, radial brakes, etc, the single sided swinger that allows the double pipes to one side also helps the looks.

Make sure the motors being built well, those NSR cranks are paperweights once they go and not readily available either..............

 

If you are looking to flog the Tyga stuff then send me the deets and I can post it on the many whatsapp and FB 2 stroke groups I am on.

 

P.S: in the front on view the fairing looks a bit skew......

So the IoM TT has been on (and off, mostly) for more than a week, and the racing is getting squeezed into a shorter window thanks to the weather.

 

Tomorrow will (hopefully see the Senior TT being run, and it looks wide open for choosing a winner.

 

Very disappointed at the lack of video coverage, though. I think there's been a bit of highlight footage on ITV4, but nothing on YouTube or anywhere else that I've searched. I think they need Bernie Ecclestone to sort things out.

This brought a huge grin onto my face and brought back some wicked memories ! It's been a couple of years since I've last had the honor of reconditioning a set of these "Bad Boys" ! I Don't know if I was hallucinating but I'm pretty sure I smelled Castrol TTS while working with these

Nice, banshee or road bike?

These are from a Banshee. The previous set I did was about two years ago and they were for a guy who was rebuilding an RD's engine.
