  • Shes back in at last sooo happy with how she looks :) hope this pleases a few people lol

  • i know what you mean with the filler mate i do it myself, i tend to do it more when weather is a bit cold so it goes off quicker but i hate it when your just in the middle of a skim and it sets it pis

  • Can't wait to see it once you've got it all finished, paint job looks brilliant you've certainly got skills, are you bringing it to the Polo Show

so much win 8-)

looks like quite a big oil filter, is it just the angle or is it a non genuine one?

everything else looks spot on mate, are you not dying to drive it, i know everytime i take my car off the road to do stuff i cant wait to get driving it again.

Spot on mate :). Keep up the excellent work :).

it's not going bad when i get time/funds to work on it. I'm currently trying to get my dizzy sorted as teh guy sent me the wrong one and my manifold is being welded by a friend for free :D

I'll be sorting out a few bits of the body work and changing things about.

I have it you haven't had it running yet then?? i'd mine running but the carbs were shite and pissing fuel everywhere so i changed them for ZX7R ones and had to change my manifold.

no ain't had mine running yet but should be ok, the bike carbs are off a 2007 xjr 1300 and haven't been used much practically brand new.

i can't wait to get the engine started just to hear the sound.

bogg brothers told me the size of these carbs will give me around 25 - 30 bhp more so looking at around 150bhp with fast rd cams and exhaust :-D
