Make them captive, saves faffing when wheel changing.
thats the plan tony
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.

ok after popcat SHAMED me into cleaning up the lefthand pipe thats showing a little scar
. its patina and i kinda like it.i give the pipes a good clean and dressed up the damage a bit.
Rear Talon sprocket arrived today so after a wee scrub thats the rear end buttoned up and good to roll...
oh and yes the oil pipes are grotty but they are on the hit list to be changed
im getting SOOO close to how i set out for this bike to be i can near taste it,(yes iv licked it a few times i admit).
just waiting on a man whos making me something to call and say its ready and that the jigsaw finished i promise.

nothing else happening so took my chance to get the bikes bodywork off for a scrub up underneath.
rev counter retrimmed and the frame giving a wee clean up
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.
