Nice. The old stuff works just as good as the new! If you look around on here someone redesign elmers beam into a double scale.

BTW.. Nice Britten in your avatar. Those were amazing motorcycles. Too bad John is no longer with us.

LINK to the double scale beam.

i prefer the feel of the old stuff ,they have a weight that you dont get on the new machines.i went and had ago before i chose .Mind yo the TS used to be like this...
John Britten and his gang sure did have something special going on ,wonder what would have been eh!!!
