Mirage 1200TS Mirage complete

[Shuggie]

Just to say a vote of thanks to all of you who have helped along the way in the last two years...Keith Nairns engine runs very well, it's got a Witt DMC32 , RS36 carbs and a Shindegen RR giving 14.5 volts at 3k rpm...apart from the engine build, chroming and powder coating I've done the rest just needs a good check over and some dry weather

That sounds like a very successful project indeed! Now it's time to amortise the costs. My recommendation would be: Drive it, enjoy it and have fun!
Cheers, Jo

Thanks Jo...it would be criminal to sell without riding , fettling and enjoying a real classic...I've got there and it feels satisfying

Nice job, congratulations. Beautiful looking 1200, IMHO, all it needs is an update to Bremebo 4 pots, but each to their own.

Thanks I'm looking forward to riding something different to my Japanese classics...they look and work great don't they those four pots ... ...Keith has advised me to get the brake lines shortened, I'll be doing that to save myself from a mishap

Congrats - job well done. The motor just purrs. Will be a treat to ride. Yeah, the sound of the wind howling over the Scottish glens makes me feel cold as i sit here!!

Thanks fine days do happen more often in summer and it's always five degrees C colder here than the south east London area... the bonus is very few people and policing is with a light hand, that and the Scottish people give a sense of freedom

Yep, it's a Keith Nairn built engine so it should...sunny most of yesterday back to a low level gale in the evening Cheers

Brrrrr, you blokes are all tough nuts, I’m a fair weather person myself. Anything below 20c and I’m looking for an extra layer or a fire.

If it's dry and above seven centigrade I'm happy to ride my bike, wintertime it's a bike with no polished alloy or chrome...here my winter bike, v twin, light and 57 bhp from a 650... It will be 12 degrees on Tuesday and I'll be out on it...picture was taken at historic Kenmore near Aberfeldy
