This is my latest effort before it dropped the rev counter under the cam and its now in bits.Built this bike to use,it has Dyna s,taper head bearings,combined reg/rect, strengthened frame with bracing,double disc setup it has a number of copy parts and is not one for the purist,hope to rectify probs soon and get on the road was running great before the Gremlin struck.......

Beautifull job Paul.
This is just a hic-up you are having, many of us have been there and share your pain. It will all be forgotten when MOT'D and you are enjoying summer runs. Alex.

Life can be a bitch sometimes. I had exactly the same problem with my cylinder head. Felt gutted at the time. Ended up buying another head, because at the time I did nt realise you colud buy an electronic rev counter.

Z Power are selling them on ebay for about £45.

Cracking looking bike. Lovely colour scheme.
