The spondon & blackbird are looking sharp mate! I like it... a lot!
How well does the arm fit up to the blackbird frame?

Thats cool!
I would love to do a 280/300 rear but I think the most I'll go with is a 240 as anything bigger really throws things off but they sure do look mean I've got a 210 on mine & it looks good & lines up well & should still give me fast-ish turning.
I do like the fat fronts too but I can't afford it right now.
I'm looking forward to seeing how you get on

Re: my spondon blade
have given in....have arranged for the Spondon to be sent to borstal..
well,....Ipswich...
A buddy of mine is sorting the niggly jobs, and making sure the rolling chassis is straight etc ( fitting wheels etc that weren't on the originlal bike)
while its there...its having the turbo plumed in
then its off to Glasgow for a custom Plenum, wastegate etc..
then back to me..then off to a turbo specialist for set up
then back to me...
so
have spent most of the day buying Blackbird bits n peices!!

Re: my spondon blade
Spondon is away at borstal..
so had an hour on the bird today
swingarm mount is central...but its offset on a blade
Ive got a blackbird linkage and a blade shock..the linkage triangles are double the thickness of the blade one!...must be expecting more power
was thinking I needed a special shock mount making.
then had a brainwave whilst eating my curry
...just drill another hole in the frame
got the cbr900 front end..slots in nice! (cheers Cabbie! )
and bought a subframe to be a starting point rather than wait to get one made.
was gonna put the wheels in...but it was too f**kin heavy to lift on my own ....will get em in somehow next time.
then played with a couple of cbr6 seat units I've got lying around
dunno weither to go clip-ons or risers and drag bars...will decide later

Re: my spondon blade
One small thing, always start off with the engine jacked up before you start assembly!
Its lookin cool mate, that shock problem was a real easy fix for sure!
Me thinks it's cryin out for a massive wheel & tire on the back!

You could pick up a dead cheap alloy wheel on ebay & then go with a 210 like I have, let me know if you want the measurements

Clip'ons are for fairings, drag bars are for fighters.
I've decided after looking at griz's and RB's bikes I'm going to build a fighter for my next project.

I usually use Renthal Ultra lows.....but there are plenty of fighters around with clip ons too.
