Hi all
Only had my Revere for about 18 months before it got stolen
before Xmas.
It did get recovered but was in a poor cosmetic state so didn't want it back.
I think it will appear here-- www.salvagemarket.co.uk/ when the insurer is ready to auction it off, nice low millage (20K) bike which might be worth picking up for parts or rebuild
Anyway, I didn't like the available options for mounting a top box when I had it so I made by own frame, which given the work involved I decided to repatriate.
Its made from 8x30mm flat bar and sits in the footprint of the grabrail and has threaded mounting holes for the tail plastic and the top box plate (see the images)
I appreciate it doesn't look like much as my welding is not the prettiest and I never got round to powder coating it.
On the positive side you could hang the bike up by it if you ever needed to
Just wondered if anyone was interested in it, more to do with seeing it get used after the effort of making it, than it being all about any beer tokens it might be worth. (I'm in Barnsley south Yorkshire)
I have a couple of other bikes so I don't imagine I will get another Revere now, though I did enjoy it. Great balance of power and handling and loved the noise it made.
