Greetings
My son has an unfinished Sloper that he is finding it impossible to finish because of other commitments. Therefore he is looking for someone with Sloper experience to do the job for him. All of the major engineering is done both ends, rebore, piston has been respun to original sizw and shape etc and the engine is rebuilt and in the frame. Not sure about the gearbox but I think so. Mag done etc  Frame and wheels etc all sorted, but a fair bit wants doing. Small parts are perhaps missing.

This is possibly an ideal project for someone who would like to do a rebuild but doesnt have the time or the money to buy one. Obviously he is going to pay all the costs.

Bike is currently at Haywatrds Heath but that is not a problem.

Anyone interested would like to PM me and I'll set up communication with him. Distance is not a problem

Hi Mike

Unfortunately I can't help with your rebuild as I have my fathers 1927 Sloper that needs work doing to the engine - it burns a lot of oil!!

I would be interested in what companies your son used for rebore, piston etc. Due to its age you just can't go online and buy spares as and when you need them, I suspect I will need an engineering company to make bushes etc.

Good luck finding somebody to help you.

All the best
Andy
