Mikey, going a bit slow at the mo :!:

Doing a bit of engine work at present, just got hold of some better (1045) barrels & Wiseco pistons, and got some .395 cams that need collected from Steve (Romeo) Debben :lol:

I have a decent rolling chassis now and have just got the V5 (R reg) back from the Misnistry of DVLA :shock:

Got most of the other stuff in boxes (Dyna S, new cam chain, rollers & guides) and a couple of exhausts to choose from :wink:

Then it'll be a wiring job, as the looms a bit knackered :cry:

Hope to get me RedZed on the road for Summer :twisted:
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

Finally got me crank welded...

The workshop Engineer at my work did it for me.... used a low alloy, hi-carbon rod or sumink :?: Cost me a 4-pack of Stella Artois :twisted:

I've ground the weld back and cleaned it up. Fitted me new cam chain & with the help of me lad its back in the casing :lol:

Gonna get a windage tray from Steve 'Romeo' debben next week and hope to get cases back together by next weekend :wink:
And on the 7th day... Zeds were created!

Where will you mount the bottle and where/ how are you going to fill it? Are you going to have a big bottle at home?
