overherebc Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Velo 500 twin. Very rare. Covel model I believe someone managed to fit together two 500 barrels and came up with a V-1000 but don't know how successful it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaiguzzi Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 500 twin 4 stroke. And now you've moved onto a rare as hen's teeth experimental/racing Velo twin that even i did'nt know existed, value today probably in excess of £100k, to a home-made Velo 1000cc v twin (albeit nicely done). I could point you in the direction of commercially made 1000cc Enfield v twins made in Australia using 500cc single top ends, but what is the point? Or your point?

overherebc Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 I will probably spend more rebuilding my bike than it's worth. But at the end I will feel that the money and effort will be worth it, to me anyway. Better than letting it fall apart. Maybe some day someone will appreciate it, maybe not, but I will be happy with me. Old bikes, old cars same same, as they say here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spend loads on classic bikes & cars (in UK) and don't regret it. Just wish that I could have kept a few vehicles.What are you to restore, overherebc ?

Just wish that I could have kept a few vehicles With you on this point...i've had quite a few bikes over the years that at the time were ''just bikes'' and are now collectable classics..such is life.
