A few things to tidy and alter but its ready to go basically. track day booked for 22nd over here , can't wait. Oh and a new colour scheme. 12 Quote
CockneyRick Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Is the headlight cowl part of fairing, or separate? Quote

downtheshed Posted January 27, 2018 Author Posted January 27, 2018 Had my 1st chance to have a proper look over the bike today and obviously a few things I will amend but mostly its in great shape. Here are a couple of picks with the skin off, showing coil positioning and adjustable shock height bracketry. Quote

Who's was it Jim? Looks a bit like Andy Lovett's possibly??? The headlamp cover on mine is a Jap spec headlight cover that I painted... I could drill it but with my luck it would crack into a zillion pieces lol. Who's riding it?? Cor I wish I was going... YJ Quote
downtheshed Posted May 22, 2018 Author Posted May 22, 2018 (edited) Andy Mc Pherson, owned/built it, and raced it last 3 yrs. Yeah 1100 so well down on power, Dave Moffitt going to ride it if I can find the extra ponies.!! Investigation starts today. If not then it maybe Katana time at the Manx, Edited May 22, 2018 by downtheshed Quote

cregnybaa Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Andy Mcphearsons bike did go really well but recently had head done by well known specialist , just as head work can give it more power it can also take it away id start there if I was you. 1 Quote
