thats the plan tony :thumbup: i wanted to make this wheel like the dymag in that i can just pull the axle out and it just sits in postion held by the swingarm cups. makes it dead easy for wheel changes.
the older i get,the faster i was :lol:

but now heres the biggy, do i try it or not? i love the look of them and iv an old fairing here that came with the bike i got the motor from which had been running ramtubes so i can use that as a template but, when its fitted it looks a bit messy ,sorta. not sure on this so i will sit and give it some thought before getting the dremel out.

Send everything to me, I'll test them out for you. My fairing is shaped to fit so it'll just be a case of catching me to get them back. Lol.
