Have given that thought before FE, but they might take a bit of butchering to remove the redundant sections. Not sure how easy that would be to patch, clean up and return to original standard finish.

Not sure about strength either - ya know, when some old knacker stands up on the pegs to stretch his old hips off!! Don’t think that would be transferred to the rear of the frame though. Can’t see there being spares around - not possible to convert single to double - worth trying though.

It’s been a third-order thing for me - did’nt bother me that much. Just about to convert to a single seater though so looking to clean that derrière up. Probably get the guys looking at mounting the Thruxton fairing to sort it out, if/when I pull the pin.

I may have them in stock....but failing that, I've also got the original jigs and stock to produce new ones.
 
The MHR has been in my living room for years after I restored it. Recently decided to ride it again, while I still can. Calipers and master cylinders needed to be rebuilt amongst a few other issues. In that pic they had been removed for work.

Oh they're still painful ! We can restore the bike, pity we can't restore our bodies.. I was 28 when I bought the MHR, in my 60's now.

You’ve got other bikes for comfort. And most probably a nice family car as well?!

This is what it is. And all the better for it !

Please post some pics and vids when it’s up and running again…
 
Time to put the 961 away for the winter, but first needed to give it a good clean. Time to use the bobbins that slide into the wheel spindle for the first time. However none of my paddock stands would fit, they weren't wide enough.. Checking online manufacturers don't seem to give the maximum width of their stands, so ended up cutting one of mine in half and widening it by 70mm. Not the neatest job in the world but it works..

The black stand was the same width as the red one, before it was modded..
