I will do after the mot :thumbup:

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Gave it a service and started to fit the belly pay for the mori headers .
I want the pan as high up as it will go to give me as much ground clearance as possible for them right handers

That belly pan looks a fair bit higher Lloyd. Did it go up much? Does look nice in black.

Ground the pins out of the footrests, so I can fit some shiny new ones.
Cut a slot in frozen screw on the chain guard and got that out.
Cut down the rear brake push rod to get the right pedal height - a good day all round with the Dremel :) :)
I'm so unlucky that if there is such a thing as re-incarnation I'll come back as me!

Had a big sort out in the garage and finally started to build the tuned engine .
Pistons in crank in , gearbox in .
Need to pop into honda to change the seal they gave me as it's not the correct one for the clutch push rod ,
Them Pistons c clips are a right fecker to locate in and thankfully ck helped fitting them ( well he fitted them for me :thumbup: ) .
I hope to finish it for next weekend and order the shims .
And you never know I might have it fitted for the devon run [THUMBS UP SIGN]
