have seen this done before, but have just thrown this together today - it'll be for my lad. this is the back wheel i got ages ago from you mark

everything seems in working order but due to the flat/ruined and perished back tyre i couldn't fully test it out

going to let my lad decide whether we repaint it or keep it in original yellow, did a little tcut test and it comes out quite shiny,
although its pretty scratched up.

going to need to get at least one replacement tyre, although i'm expecting the front to be about the same as the rear, ie knackered! have to work out some kind of chainguard also, don't want any oily legs or clothes :lol:

looking good mate 8-)

im having a bash at doing some repro decals for the Boxer at the moment, there's some on Ebay buy it now £35 :shock:

mine will only be £34 :lol:

think the lad's happy to keep it yellow

so could well be interested in some repro stickers mate! ! sure they used to be on the ebay for £5 a go

don't suppose you've got any spare boxer tyres at all? anything the right size would do, the lad test rode it round the back garden with the rear tyre flat!

I have a 16" super grip mate, not cracked but well used, you are welcome to it FOC, shall I leave it by the front door for collection?

you sir, are a beauty!!! and it just so happens i'm scheduled to be down your way tomorrow!!

there's a couple of pints with your name on at the next bournemouth/poole minimeet!!

would be brilliant to get the boxer properly running, as my lad seemed quite excited by it!

(quite looking forward to having a spin on it myself :lol:

)

Ooh that one was bad :shock:

, just got back from a day trip to Butlins, Bognor Regis (would never go again) they have those four wheeled four seater bikes, 16" fronts and 20" rear wheels, there must be at least 30 of the things and they all have 16" Super Grips :shock:

no wonder there's never many NOS, Billy Butlins bought the lot
