Hello, its been a while since I was on here, Im finally getting round to re-building my bike. its going to be a pretty trick road legal drag bike type thing, big bore motor, MSD ignition, air shifter, nitrous, JMC stretched arm, R1 front end, carbon Dymags, all the goodies.
I got the motor back in the frame and a few of the bits put on today, hopefully have it back on its wheels in a few days.
I will no doubt have loads of questions about bits and bobs along the way. Be warned

Looking good, but you made a terrible mistake.
What you mean, you can't see it ?
Really not ?
Look again ?
Ah, it's dawning on you ?
Hmm... Now I think you've got it ?
TEASING WITH JUST ONE PIC ?
Cheers,
Greg

There will be lots more pics over the next week, didnt put many up to start as its only an engine in a frame with a few other bits bolted on.
Bike has been drag raced in the past, got stripped for a refresh and rebuild years ago, was mostly there but then tho bloke who had it before moved to Scotland and lost his garage so I bought it as was and left it until I stripped it down to start again recently. i still need some carbs for it and to sort out an oil cooler, and a wiring loom, the rest I have pretty much got.
