Lad's, thank you all for your kind words.

Buzzard the head work was indeed a work of art, bloke that did it was a decent fella too. :wink:

Ignition is Dyna 2000, set up statically at 38 degrees BTC with ignition curve 1 selected & the rev limiter set at 9000 RPM. Once I get the thing on the road, I can tweak it as needed, but straight 'out of the box' it seems pretty good. :D

I've managed to get some of the smaller jobs done during the last couple of Sundays. Nothing breath taking, but stuff that needs doing all the same. :roll:

Fitted & plumbed in speedo sensor. Seems to pick up quite happily on the edges of the disc, between the mountings.

Image

Chopped off the Dyna 2000 pick up connector.

Image

And fitted a waterproof version, as it sits under the rear of the motor. :??

Image

Added a vent to my catch tank;

Image

Fitted seat & temporary billboard No. plate;

Image

Fitted handlebar grips, then drilled & fitted new badges to bodywork. Thought you might like a couple of pics with it's clothes on. :shock: :shock:

Well done GB, great job that. Will it be coming any near the South East when on the road? Would love to see it at the Ace meeting.

That's the most extreme upturn to an exhaust I've ever seen.

Remind me to recount a story involving Paul McEleney next time we speak :lol:

That is gorgeous Steve love the stance and the way it sits.
Its been a great thread to read along with and the results have been worth every minute. Well done, now get yourself booked in for Cadwell Park in the summer.
