  1. Well.. 

    I cleaned up the head, lapped the valves and leak tested them whilst @davecarasorted the carbs, cheers mate. It leaked like a sieve. So I pulled another head of the shelf, grubby as hell put it held fuel, I was just about to start stripping it when I forgot, like most, I have another head, a ported freshly blasted and decoked one at that. Bitchin.

    Quick spin over to my friends, turned out he'd completed the job 2 months ago and I'd just forgot about it. Winning. Back home, lapped some valves in, leak test and it's a winner. Mint. 20180425_220523.thumb.jpg.51dc4082ab2dd669cf12cd31bc359247.jpg

    My dad's been bugging me lately to just throw everything iv got at this bike. So, iv removed the rods pistons and block from my other build for this,all the parts have been kept into the original 1100 Crank and cases, their life may be short lived at this rate.

    I had a call from Dave Dunlop of FBM fame to discuss the time line of my other build, basically I have decided to swop the work that's been paid for on the Z to upgrade the wheelie bike. And boyyyyy do I mean upgrades....

  2. @zedheadfor legal reasons I must state that this photo is years old and Jessica has in no way breached the terms of her contract in any form by working on any suspension outside of working hours for any third parties. Seriously...

  4. I have been using the bike for a lot of road miles, I got lazy with maintaining the bike and after riding it through a flood in North Wales this February it was decided a revamp was required. 

    Full strip, clean, paint and rebuild it is. 

    These are the photos after getting back from the Dragon Rally. A little embarrassing.

  5. If you are anything like me then you're a nightmare to live with at this time of year.

    Go to work when its dark and come home when its dark, most of the race tracks shut, a big list of jobs that needs doing to your racing machine in preperation for next year. On top of all that people want you to be festive and joyful. 

    Consider this an acknowledgement of your plight. 

    Our Winged Hammer list grew this year and we hope it will continue to grow into 2018. Congratulations to all WH memebers for your achivements in 2017 wether they were PB's, World Records or Championship wins. 

     

    I see 2018 being no slower for the speed freak division of OSS. So, i ask you share with us your goals and aspirations for 2018. New builds- wether you are a WH or wish to become one next year, improvement ideas for your existing machine or new tracks you wish to race at?
