some high levels are good, if you can get the scorpion high level link pipes these look a bit better than the extreme big bend blue flame type, looks more of a natural ryther than forced up sweep if that makes any sense

you can stick the blue flame on the scorpion high levels also

Fitted the PR'3 and sorted a few issues on the bike.

Took the tyres for a test ride, met magnum and got soaked on the ride home.

The tyres were instantly good enough for kneedowns after getting them warm but when it pissed down after 20 miles or so the rear was all over the place! Still need some dry scrubbing in me thinks :)

Fecking rain, gravel, mud and more rain. Gotta wash it now!

BTT....not the best hi level linkpipes, tbh you need 3/4 length cans to sort out the wheel barrow issue.
J-man... yup more scrubbing miles needed dude, being a member of the southernsoftie chapter i hate being caught in the rain on the bike, mainly because i have to then give the bike a good wash... :lol:

Set red light of death on the 19l tank , it now comes on at 5 L instead of 2 !!! .
Started the fuel line pluming for it too .
It wasn't running right with two inline filters (one for each carb ) so now I just have one feeding both .
Two more little jobs to do on it and it should be good to go

Went out for a meal with the bird, then around 5pm decided i need more light at the front of the house for when i clean my bike in the middle of the night or work on it late etc

so went to wickes, got two 400w flood lights, 10 meter of cable, and two plugs

wired one up of them, gives off great amount of light lot more than shows up on camera

will probably do the other tomorrow

might move the wire, and go straight up through the white wood above the light so its out of sight

problem was the lamps was like 6 quid each, but for 10 meter of wire they wanted 17 quid or there about, so limit to what i could use so went as straight as possible to the plug outlet

probably make it look better tomorrow, was sort of a rush job as i started it at 8pm and it was a bit nippy and wet so got fed up with it half way through

the light cast is impressive tho :)
