HA thats tidy, i might have a double garage but there's a semi pro weights gym in there and a quad bike, and a huge shelf, no room for any thing so leave the tools in reach

well to day the bike looks the same but with a bit more metal lol, the rear piston,cylinder and head is on, timing up the cams.. im doing the rear first as i was thinking about it and i dont think it would make a difference.

the front cylinder head is at college, my tutor is going to weld an ally plug sort of thing and re drill and tap, he is a welder, fabricator by trade so knows what he is doing and is very good at welding ally

should be nearly done by tomorrow as tonight i intend to fit swing arm later and bolt up part of the linkage.
