Did you not read the post with Mac V2. It sounds like he's been working his man pretty hard in car parks!!!!

i ain't worried about mac, its the fella rebuilding the bike i'm worried about, he's greek and he might ask for payment in kind
i'm thinking if its long enough to get past my butt cheeks, i'll be in the sh*t, or he'll be in the sh*t more like it.........
i'm told the bike will be finished by xmas but i ain't holding my breath......

You're probably ok, if he's Greek he'll be more interested in Olive's.

If your'e still after an airbox I have some.

cheers for the offer tony, i got one off rob for a fiver in the end, very reasonable, are you having much interest on the sp1 bits yet buddy?

Nope, but that's the time of year, mostly.
I'll relist them if they don't sell, in the spring.

They'll go in the end, and I don't need to sell much to get my money back anyway.

Mostly I wanted the cams for myself, and a good look at the head porting, which I've done.
It confirms my thinking that the Storm exhaust exits are not ideal, and so I'll have a play with a spare head to see how far you can make the ports on a Storm look like the ones on an SP1.
The ports on an SP2 are quite different, though, being oval.......

i bet you were in your element stripping down the sp lump
a lot of investigating which sounds like hard work but it could well be worth it, i might end up coming to you for my stage 1 engine work instead of roger.
just to let you know my mechanic is dragging his feet and hasn't swapped the rear end of my bike around yet, as soon as he does i'll get the swingarm to you mate.
i travel back home to spain for a month over xmas, i leave on the 21st of dec and if the mechanic doesn't pull his finger out i won't be back until the end of jan, so i'd have to get the swingarm to you then, if something comes up and you need it urgent i'll get him to post it to you, i hope thats ok buddy.

that covers over half the brit population of spain

my place is in the sticks, in catalonia northern spain, about an hour and a half south of barcelona and the moto gp track and about the same north of motorland aragon track. i'm about 5 miles outside of a small town called flix, its got one of the best fishing rivers running thru the town, the river ebro, i'm no fisherman but last year i went fishing for the first time and my very first fish was a 75lbs cat fish which is small for that river..... fishings a great excuse for getting rat arsed in the sunshine with yr mates..............

Workshop at yours next year then

hopefully me and my family will finish building the farmhouse (we will have about 8 to 10 spare beds/and theres even a fully train reiki master and reflexolgist/head massage expert on site for the ladies, whilst we go fishing and drinking....pmsl) next year
maybe next year or the year after we can put a trip together where we ride out to mine and back, ride thru france then thru the pyreness into spain, then to mine foe a few days rest and maybe some fishing and rideouts, then maybe up and across to bilboa for the ferry back to blighty or we could always ride back via a different route.
watch this space matey
