I agree but I feel I need them to race with, however., I've drawn up some descrete tensioners that I may eventually get around to making ;)

Looks like the set of forks after the early Mad Dog's

Still had the extended legs but no holes in the dropouts :daumenhoch:

Title: Re: Holmes o/s legal racer
Post by: hazzajoe on July 15, 2013, 08:09 AM: or a transponder, which guess does the same? it looks like the other bikes have them on too. they can be used for numerous things, alot of motorsport classes require that you have one. I use one on my F2.

Photo finishes can be sttled by transponer data, down to 100ths or 1000ths of seconds

Title: Re: Holmes o/s legal racer
Post by: Gordy on July 15, 2013, 02:55 PM: Sorry guys, yeah it's a transponder on the forks of my bike. Most of the race meetings in Australia require the use of a transponder. It's great for checking lap times, start reaction times etc.

Post by: Lenny-Lentini on July 21, 2013, 03:38 PM: Phew nice Holmes Brothers

But when I see a Holmes my mind turns to some LLP Electrical Tape colour change action...

Any colour Holmes you want for 83p and just over an hours work

Job's a good'un.
