I have just purchased a Dynastarter in readiness to convert the Beast to lecky leg.

Really looking forward to updates on that, Chris.
I'm still in awe of the exquisite job you did converting a Chinese 125 to a vintage bike. It's an interesting story of how you did it, including making the beautiful tank.
For those who haven't seen the tale it's here:

The result - 'Kate'.

You are too kind Nev and a great compliment which is much appreciated. I will be starting a thread called "Lecky Leg" in the garage section when the Dynastarter arrives. I also write a monthly digital newsletter / magazine called Spannerrash which has a feature on Kev's conversion in the forthcoming March edition but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to upload it here?

I don't see any reason not to mention Spanner Rash as I'm sure we're all aware that there are other groups and websites catering for AMC bikes and all manner of vehicles.
I had quick browse on Spanner Rash which is an interesting site.

I'd have though the story of 'antiquing' Kate and developing leccy start Kev are certainly something for the Jampot mag.

Oh, .......I don't use Faecesbook although my chum Thrifty Peter tells me it has some good bike-specific groups).
