I have seen a few of those but I'll stick with my plain white lid I think :-p
And the themes Demonic more than alien, its just the predator mask is a good shaped base to start from.

Won the Predator mask but not the headlight, search continues for a legal moddable set :)
Cans arrived today as did some other necessary toys,
Dremel type thing as my old ones had it,
a new and improved socket set and a box of Milliput expoxy putty, I will use P38 for some of the filling work but I love this stuff
Borrowed a swingarm socket from a lad at work but its tiny, I think its chisel and bin time for the annoying nut,
Spoke to my wiring guy to warn him about the incoming deluge of work/questions, gave him a list of the things I'd like/want doing and his response?
'At least its not the Magna...'
Hehe, back to scouring the net for tail gear, numberplate mount (probably fab one up tbh) indicators and stop/tail light
Need to speak to a local trike shop about the custom hugger/brace/exhaust mount and seat creation as well, might wander down tomorrow with a pack of Hobnobs in hand

Didn't make it anywhere yesterday, slept too late lol,
I do at least have a tyre fitting later today so as soon as the bikes here its back wheel off and down to the shop, I'll replace the front one with a matching slice once I land the big money next month but for Mot purposes I'll be on a win, just need to check the fiche for guidance on swing arm spacer/bearing order so when they all fall everywhere I can put them back right :P
And Mot/tax should be Monday so Monday night I can finally be back on the tarmac in style :)
I'm really feeling the need for wind in my hair today :cry: but my patience will be rewarded 8)

Myergh! Paddockstand fail...
My mates stand holds the swingarm which is as much use as *insert analogy of choice* so I rolled the bike to the shop and took the tyre off there, checked swingarm and head over, no play so seem fine for Mot,
Nice new Metz 4 on there and waiting in queue for Mot now, dent in tank is worse than the pic shows but started fine and no rattle from cams :-)
Still paranoidly doing the manuals come payday, goes without saying :-)
I'll throw some pics up and update on later

Passed Mot with a couple of ads, rear disc bit worn, front tyre near limit, we found the problem in the swingarm, its one of the linkages that needs new sleeves (Which I have) and chain touch too tight :oops: my bad, I didn't check after putting the round thing back on and tightening the bolt up
My girls, the other halfs 125 is under the cover at the back,

The dent (Soon to be filled)
Image

And the offending linkage, should be sorted tomorrow
Image

Rode back from Mot fine although my wrists quickly told me they weren't happy lol, Tax on monday and I'll be on my merry...
On the other side of things, my other half has implied that we may be parting ways so modding may have to wait, theres always bloody something on a project....

Sorry to hear about your domestic problems mate. That bottom linkage looks like it has seized and split the dogbone link. Don't ride it till it's fixed if that's the case fella.

Hadn't spotted that fellas :)
I just stuck the phone underneath to take the photo and wasn't really in an examining frame of mind when I posted, I'll check it out when I get it up on a stand
As for the domestic part, I don't want to whinge on here about my life but yes, I'm now single :(
Hang on, back in a minute, theres a horde of single women at the door hehe
