I bought a 360 Challenger recently, It was in a pretty sorry state cosmetically having been stored in a garage for over 20 years. It came with a spare engine (unfortunately no spare gearbox)
I have replaced all the bearings and seals, Nametab crank bearings, Nametab griffon clutch.
The frame, engine, clutch cases etc were stripped by http://www.paint-strip.co.uk/strip_bike.html and powder coated by Vanden powder coatings 01942 818953.
I bought a royal Enfield (Indian) front wheel with twin leading shoe brake and Jeff at KB wheels 01204 844204 laced aWM2 x 19" allot rim to it and a WM3 x 18" alloy rim to the back hub using butted stainless spokes.
The fuel tank had been repaired underneath and felt rather "mushy" when pressed so Tony at Holt works is making me a replica in polished aluminium http://www.holtworks.co.uk/
Tyres are Continental classic attack
As I bought it
Front wheel before new rim and spokes
