    I know its been a while but having a second son has left me stuck for some time not being able to do anything..
    I wanted to share with you all my progress ... do I got time before I do the fatherly thing again... and let you see my bike... note it will be ready by wed. thursday next week.. I got a rally it has to be ready for.. so it will be completed...

    note the forward controls... those were a bugger to make.

    anyway enjoy.

    just been down today to make a mad rush for some bits that were required... I had to get a petrol tap for it... only a harley one would do... and also two ballancing pipes for it.

    been doing some chrome work on it.. and hopefully this bike will roll out by thursday next week for the show on friday sat and sun..

    less than a week away and all should be done.... alot longer than I wanted but hey .. its nearly there.

    anyone give me any suggestion on the carbs.. I am putting K&N filters on it tomorrow.. and will need to know if there a pain in the back side to ballance or not.

    Yes I have a YICS tool... thankfully!

    You know why, be honest!

    Everyone here reckons fitting pods make the bike run worse and be a pig to set up!

    Sorry.
