Must bite his nails lad. Hard to quit once they're that short, hard to get nail clippers on them once you've bit them that far down.

Just Afew update pics

Boxing · Guru

Looks like you've taken two steps backwards? Wiring problems or something?

ShaunyBoy · Guru

No, no problems, the other weekend was a mock up, had no brakes, front wheels spacers, brake brackets and so much more.
Should have done all this on Sunday but was suffering from to much alcohol

ShaunyBoy · Guru

Finally started the bike yesterday, took about 2/3 mins of kicking. Left her running for 20 mins and checked the plug, all seams ok... Won't be able to tell till I've been out riding in her tho. Now need to get my forks sorted then im done :)

ShaunyBoy · Guru

started the bike today and its really smokey, checked oil pump settings and set up correctly, i did premix for a litre but run that through yesterday, u think it might have settled in the tank and just blasting it through today, plug is oily too...

NathanH · DTR Senior Member

Keep the gold calipers. Its a nice splash of colour.

ShaunyBoy · Guru

started the bike again today, second kick, sounding better everytime, still alittle smokey from the exhaust. just waiting for forks from slinky (posting friday i hope) then can start to assemble the front. after seeing cals bar mounts, i thinking i would like some of them also... so looking into bars and mounts for next months update. also want a halo headlight and sm front mudguard. soon have my bike on the road just, at last.

Forks here today I hope, need to get some oil in them and fitted, I am desperately hoping the custom bracket from my 91 forks still fits the 95 forks I have coming, checked the part numbers across the two years and it all matches, hub disc and brake... So fingers crossed, then I have a few little bits till she is MOT bound... And the bike starts first or second kick
Every time now :) so happy with that too lol

ShaunyBoy · Guru

The bikes on its feet and running sweet as a nut. Norfe has done an excellent job, real pro that man. Need a horn, seat cover, Afew more bolts, wire headlight and Afew more snags and then mot

Well done mate

Calum122 · Guru

Thats unlucky.

Luke · Guru

Failed its MOT? What on?

slob · Guru

Sorry I read couldn't pass quicker.

That sounds rubbish, what did it fail on?

ShaunyBoy · Guru

Oops I ment "mot passed...." Stupid auto correct

ShaunyBoy · Guru

Thinking about keeping the two pick up magnets and halfing the wheel diameter on the unit, more accurate read at lower speeds, just a thought tho.

Running in is frustrating lol. Im on 170 miles now and started going up to about 6k in revs what miles are you on shauny?. Will wait till I hit 300 miles before i hit the powerband.

ShaunyBoy · Guru

Done 47, been letting her warm up for 10mins before every ride, I ride it very conservatively for 10 mins then ride too a max of 6k. Just mailing sure I shift up and down the gears. Wait till 300 miles till I start to rag it.
