It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Quick update as I haven't for a while. I'm quite pleased with the progress so far. More hours cleaning than playing I'm afraid.

ha ha yes. if you look closely you will see the front wheel is held in with a long masonry drill bit. I was hoping the firestorm wheel would fit the blade forks but sadly not. I needed a wheel in place to lift it off the deck so just bunged the storm wheel in. I need to get one sorted but they are so bloody expensive even for second hand ones. I like the look of the older 16 inch blade wheels which are much cheaper but not sure if that would fit so got to save up the £180-220 ish for a 17 inch one.

No the early blade wheels won't fit .
Tho the 929/954 and 2004-2007 and sp1 wheel will if you have the 929/954 forks and yoke

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Turbo plan is still there. Been taking to a few people about sorting the exhaust for it. As I've tinkered a fair bit with the engine I'm more concerned about testing it's still going to run ok then will look at the turbo.
