TT Action Shots

Three great action shots of Phil Read in the 1971 Junior TT on the 350 Read Castrol Yamaha Special.   The wheels are off the ground in every shot, showing how hard he was on the bike, no wonder the engine mounting bolt broke and caused the frame to crack !

I finally got the finish I wanted on the frame, thanks to Silvabronze of Alton.

Read-Castrol-Yamaha Cheney Frame # 101

August 2014

Up hill struggle reaches a crest...

Had lots of issues with getting the frame plated to a decent standard, but now it's finally done thanks to Silvabronze of Alton.

Here's the frame bring "worked on" at Cheney's....

Below is another Fath clutch conversion on a German TR2...

And here's a New / Old stock Fath clutch I found !!

Below is a 3D model I made of the clutch assembly. I need to make the actuator arm.
