Yellow wheels suit it :thumbup: What that spindle...you have a big bit sticking out on the left side. Whoever made that swingarm up done a good job, and what's that bit on the left Mori can by the strap. Did a bit of shrapnel hit it. :(

the bit on the can panicked me, iv just checked and its just been a bit of crap cause its blew of now.

the spindle sticky out thingy (technical term) is a spacer i put in to get a spin on it. when i gave rob the frame and bits and bobs i gave him the rear axle instead of the swingarm bolt..doh!!!! so iv to change that back over..

Fabio,

For what it's worth I prefer the look of the braced swinger, however I shuddered when I saw a clip type joining link on your chain.

Please fit a riveted one pronto !

Great to see her back together. :thumbup:

ok so lets talk turkey then... nobody cares but we all do lol :D . got a wee email today. actually a few. one was on the dyno and it was heading towards 120 when the clutch cried enough.. id have been happy with that.. so clutch fitted but before the gutted airbox went onto it. its rear wheel ponies 124. something so im thinking as a crank figure i must be looking in around the low 130s?

keeps me happy thats all i can say.

Hey Fabio,

Hell, anyone would be happy with that.

You are one lucky son of a gun.

If I ever win the lottery I will join you with figures like that.

Keep us posted on your adventures please!

Cheers ! :beer: :beer:

lol... it feels like a big pony.. the jetting and airbox got a lot of work after that was taken cause he said it was running like sh1t? looks dead on but he cant find the last one he done once the airbox snorkel ,jetting K&N and pump got fitted but maybe over winter il take it a run on a dyno just to see. only thing iv changed is fitting the mori cans,either way im not touching however its set up now cause the more i use it the better its feeling. :thumbup: :thumbup:
