I gathered that, but which one :confused Autodesk have different CAD software's for various applications, like design, plant or architecture for example. I just downloaded the straight AutoCAD 2014 for Mac to play with.

I'm not sure Carlos, I'll find out later but my friend designs ally windows & doors with it, so I'd guess it's a basic design version ??

Yep pefect as you can export in a format the CNC machine can use. Couldn't get the 2014 version working as it's for a later OS system upwards. Ended up installing the 2013 version which is now up and running. :biggrin

Now why would you want to do that? :lol:

I offered the carbon vipers up to my bike. They looked alright and if no one decides to buy them in the next week I'll keep them and get some link pipes sorted.

Stole miss piggies Dyno jet kit and fitted it to kermit and fitted the mixture thumb screws and put a groove in them so it's easier to make adjustments .
Ran it up to temp to make sure the bodge on the link pipes stayed sealed and they did and they passed the kick test so I'm happy till they fall apart on the shake down run !! .

Started to look into where I can fit and route the fuel pump and fuel lines for when I fit the 19l tank later in the year .
The xl1000 fuel taps were delivered today so fitted one , left side one I think and I can turn the fuel off without lifting the tank :-) .
