Parts droped off to the powdercoaters today, herd some good thing and some not so good about them so only time will tell, does £160 seem a decent price for both wheels, clock&fairing bracket,fork lowers and loads of other litttle bits?

The bits iv needed to order from the start turned up today, anyone got any experiance of the kevlar clutch?

Image

worked out a final list of bits i need then its a case of bolting everythign together, getting there slowly :grin:

I have that kevlar clutch in my roadbike. It works. Simple as that. I run an extra spring too which helps.

Had a change of plan with the colour scheme, not going to be cabiin colours its going to be loosely based around the original scheme.

Carbs will be coming off tomorrow and my dad will do them at work in the week, i was hoping to get the clutch in today but im on standby at work so iv not had the time.

new bolts for the front end
