unobtainable parts, but this build required
his fabricators to work overtime. “The
high-rise Fiaam triple pipes are
handmade, as is the handlebar assembly,”
said Pat. “The Nanucci mudguard is from
our own range and the twin filler 12-litre
fuel tank was adapted in our workshops.”
In true skelly spirit Pat has no idea where
the speedo and rev counter originated, but
their installation in an Ld-type toolbox is
very neatly executed.
The only part Pat isn’t completely happy
with is the headlamp, which comes from a
Honda Chaly.“I’mlooking for an original
1970s Hella, but they’re scarce out here.”
Other parts, such as the Acma gear shift
and bespoke cowl, were manufactured in
SSC’sworkshops, with the whole project
being turned around inarelatively short
space of time. As for the local reaction?
“I don’t think the Vietnamese know
what to make of it, which is great fun,”
said Pat.
“I don’t think I’ll be taking it on this
year’sHanoi ride, though!”
