A bit of both Steve will be running it as standard this summer then put some wire wheels on a triumph seat and side panels to give it a look a bit more like the XS650/early triumphs.

Ah no real panic, it's not gonna stop me doing anything if i dont have it. I just wanted it as a spare

It came as a spare with the bike Steve but to be honest I just use the kicker.

You will have to send me a picture of your bike.

Aye kinda......as you know the battery was a faulty one & Shorai are sending me a replacement, wont be here to the end of the week at the earliest though so im just messing about with silly things at the minute. Then it'll be onto the carbs, i have a idle issue.....in that its idling at about 2400RPM, the return spring on the carbs doesn't seem to be shutting fully so i'll disconnect the throttle cables & see if its the spring or them. All part of the fun eh?? Now even at that i pulled the plugs & shes running way too rich, i did go up 4 sizes on the mail & 1 on the pilots though to compensate for the Pod's. I'll maybe wait to actually run the bike before messing with the jetting but i will check the float levels again.

Well the idle issue is sorted, 1 feckin small screw was making the whole thing take the piss!!

I really should make my own thread here!! lol

Maybe tomorrow?
