That's a bugger, I just deleted all the photos I took when I swapped engines.. And I needed to refer to them to get all the pipe work back in the right place.

I keep seeing Black frames and swingaems everywhere. I may have to think of a different colour to do mine.
What paint did you use Geoff?

Very nice looking ! you can have a tango bike
maybe red Carl? Can't go wrong with red and black, would give it quite a sinister look too.
