53 Superflash resto

[Bsalloyd]

I have a friend here in the states looking to have the rear fender reproduced. He sent an original well used item for the dimensions. The company is in Western Australia. I had an NOS fender and all the brackets, it was still a bear to install. You may already know all the braces on the front fender is the same as the 1954 Road Rocket along with the fender itself.

Well this took a fair bit longer than I thought it would. . I finally have the rear guard and all the stays/brackets, also the tool box brackets made to suit the repo rear guard, I still need to make one more stay for the front guard, but that should be a cake walk after the rear one.
A big thank you to Mikes classics in QLD for persisting with my requests and supplying some pressings and the cast mounting so I could make these stays to how I need them.
The repo guards slightly differ to originals and need to be set up from scratch, and in the words of Lloyd ”are a Bear”
The next step will be to set the bike up for a set of pipes and mufflers to be fabricated, from my man who done a fantastic job on the Daytona.
Happy Easter all, oh nearly forgot 1 year to go on this build.
Tomorrow I’m of to the All British Rally with my 62RGS & 57 Gold Flash for 5 fun filled days. CHEERS

Looks like you are coming along nicely. The mudguard may be repo but it looks great. We are awaiting for the next pics! Lloyd

 Is that a grey or light blue colour ? Looks a bit like mine is, but is not a SF- not really a GF either though...

Dutch, the paint is just etch primer so it won’t rust for the moment.
