Oh those conversations with Mike Rich. He'll drop comments like "if we
working on a triumph, I could use Ferrari valve guides and vice versa" He,of
course having worked on both and interchanged parts. Always a good time.

Ken, do you think you'll be heading north to see Mike? If so, let us know.

First e-mail went out to soon, I reached for the mouse & hit the enter
button
buy mistake. Add the following to the list.

Eldo or Ambo rods- Good shape, no bearings.

King & Queen seat for a Tonti frame- This came with my SP I bought
several
years ago. Pan & foam is in good shape & the cover is in very usable shape
for a rider but would need recovering if your putting it on a nice looking
bike. Sticker on the pan says "Hang 5" or something like that.

Set of saddle bags that came with the 850-GT project. I don't know who
made
these, Bates maybe. They are the typical rounded period type saddle bags
that
you see often on Ambassador's & Eldorado's. The thing that make these
unusual
is that they are smaller in size & use a different bracket than the ones I
have seen before. The left mounting bracket is intact, the right bracket
looks like it broke on a trip & a very jack leg brace was made to make it
home. I would think you could use the left bracket as a pattern to repair
the
right hand one. They need painting but are in very solid condition.

I don't really want to sell a couple of these items but after several
conversations with Mike Rich I have become obsessed with making the
Loopframe
racebike as strong & reliable as I can.

Thanks
