seems ok, tomorrow I'll pop the fairing back on and give it a clean, then a little run round to see if they've made any difference.
Monday I'll book it on the dyno again to see what the numbers tell me....
be nice to know the out come

Liked the close-up of the oily kitchen roll, proving work had been done!
Speed control kit?
Frightened it'll run away with you?
But progress, well done so far.

im a persistant bugger... took me 3 batteries & 5hrs to get it running!
the main issue stopping it was the auto choke.
i ended up removing it & blanking the drilling off.
sounds like a popcorn maker with the exhaust off lol or a blowjob machine (if there is such a thing...)
wait til you see it when its finished lol.... should be a flyer

There certainly is such a thing as a blowjob machine, but I don't think rev'n'rip will earn you one, unless it's a wet night outside the chippy and she's the ugly one on duty.......

the plan is, get a rev n rip, hang around maccys & the co-op, keep the lid on so they can't see how grey i am.... hopefully get off with some nubile 6th formers instead of the usual octagenarian conquests.

I did, I was getting severe withdrawal symptoms! Every time the weather looked OK for a good blast there was something that needed doing, moving, shifting, lifting, going to. Well it did according to SWMBO
