Some old farmer asked my brother to clear some old motorbikes out of his barn and this was amongst them. It's a 750cc Devimead conversion with belt primary and dry clutch, full electronic ignition, in a professionally built chassis. (We think we know what it is, but need confirmation). The engine looks as if it has never been run when we did an internal inspection!

RP, I seem to remember that paint job, it might have been out in Forgotten Era in the early 90's. Have a word with Stu Mellor, he took over as the Elligabillity secretary for FER after me , he may have a photo of it as you had to submit a picture of the bike for it to get the Elligabillity certificate.

Other reason I ask is because of the carbs, they are MK2 Amals, not, elligable for classic racing???

Yes it has a lot of ground clearance - but a lot of these mini and 12 inch wheeled outfits seemed to have.
