cheers im hoping to be down there to pick it up in a couple weeks thats if i dont think of something else to change over before that, or get dragged away working again.
then ill be ripping it apart for powder and paint once ive ran it for a bit incase theres any bits need ironing out.

then over winter im going to put a turbo on it see how much it can take before it goes pop
i have already got a spare engine and a flowed head to build a "turbo" motor up ready for when the standard one spills its guts. :paranoid:

I love the contrast between the drag-style extended swing arm and the oh so sensible sports rack :D

Looking good, not keen on that bikini fairing though, if you need to fit one why not go for a Gpz style one, it'll work well with the "old skool" look.

Any rate, keep it up :D

I see, form and function :lol: :lol: :lol:

With that swing arm the only way you'll lift the front wheel is with a crate of beer on the back :lol:

You don't need beer on the rack. :D

You want to be fitting a parachute pack to slow the bugger down if you're fitting a turbo on the old girl. :eek: :lol: :lol:
Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.
