Chris, that's got me wondering now. :??
Have you really cleaned up your garage, or just photoshopped out all the shite we could see in the pic's at the beginning of the thread :?

If I were you I'd photoshop that regulator to the bin and replace it with a proper one :lol:

Top effort this Chris, especially considering how busy you are.!

Nice to see it coming together, and it'll be even better to see it at the York rally eh.? :lol:

Interesting solution for the extended top shock mounts Chris. Neat job and looks quite rigid. Looking to do something similar for my Z1100R soon.

Nice to see Bono from U2 helping you out.......... :D

They're made apparently (and paid for) and somewhere between here and the anodizers... :Oo Got 75% of my exhaust from exhaustcraft. Been tied up with other stuff including the club magazine (but that's pretty much finished now), MOTing the TDR, and rebuilding the Avenger carbs but hopefully can start making progress on it on this this week.

Keep up the good work Chris you can't rush these things, How long have you been waiting for the yokes, you know what my memory is like but I am sure we were talking about them around 3 or 4 yrs ago. Just starting a project of my own with all the bits I have ...projected finish 2014 give or take a bit...
