Re: engine swap
It runs
Took a bit longer as I forgot that I needed to fit the pipes as well, and I didnt have enough oil or coolant so had to nip to Halfords.
Started it up without the cans fitted as I was in a hurry to see if it ran.....what a noise The mother in law sh1t her self. She though there was a WW2 bomber in the garage

Re: engine swap
Fitted the cans and it's now a bit less ASBO.
So rather than finish this job I started the next one......fitting the flat bars.

Re: engine swap
I have a confession I stole it of kermit :-)
He ain't been on here in years !
Renthals make the ride more enjoyable for me and is one of the best mods I've done to it .
As Carl said try before you commit .
As it ain't for everyone
