Loads of CBR build pics in the Gallery, and when I pull my finger out, the news section will be updated with the latest news.

Great site Dom, good luck with the project. Ive been keeping an eye out on ebay for a track fairing for ages, youve bagged a few bargains there mate! Did your mate not charge you for the front end conversion? The only thing i would like to be able to do on your site is make the pics bigger like you can do on here by clicking on them, only because i wanted a closer look at that sweet race bike lol. :up:

Chris.

Yeah, all the small photos on the news/blog page are clickable and full size in the gallery.

My mate did the conversion for free, although when I race it, I will enter the bike as a 'Louigi Moto' bike :up:

Not yet no. But it badly needs it.

Basically we had to throw it together so my team-mate could get out on a trackday last Mon/Tues.

It was running like a pile of poo, but at least it ran and he was able to instruct on it.

I've been hacking the loom up this weekend and I've got the ramair box to fit and then I'll be heading off to a dyno.

Hopefully we can get 62-65bhp out of it and then over winter it'll be completely stripped and have a mild/reliable tune (69/70bhp?) as the main point of this bike is the Manx GP and I don't want it going pop!

:peace:

Well, because I use Joomla! for my website I just added a lightbox plugin and it does it all for me. Then I just dump all the images into a folder and put a bit of code like...

Code: Select all

{gallery}fork-images{/gallery}
...into my article and hey presto!!

Have a look at http://www.lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; if your website is more traditional (HTML based) as it's pretty simple to use with even a basic knowledge of website building.

I did manage to get the Lightbox2 gallery working on a Flash website I built, but don't ask me how, I remember it being a total ballache :down:

Just had a look at your site and you'll be able to use the Lightbox2 script for it.

Good luck :smile:
