This does look amazing and I can`t wait to see it run, any further updates? When is the first outing likely to be?

We took it to Dragstalgia at Santa Pod the other weekend and gave it it's first public firing but didn't run it as there's still lots of finishing off to do, brakes ,airshifter etc.
I'm currently out of action following heart surgery and can't lift a finger so progress will be slow for the rest of the year.
We've had it on the dyno and are more or less there with the jetting with maybe another couple of sessions to get it spot on.
We are now looking at next year for the maiden voyage unless we have a very mild winter.

Bugger, I was at Dragstalgia and didn`t see it, sorry to hear about your health, hope you make a full recovery and get the bike finished. It will be fantastic to see it run in anger.
