Jeff.....cheers buddy  CeeBee...........cheers very muchly me `ol mucka , as for the `zorst`.............thats the pic i really like, and yeah i had thought of going slimline pipes but the routing of the main pipe was what was putting me orfe!!!..........the other issue is the 1:1 bike is a one piece tail and mines a two............the `zorst` would probably terminate at the end of the first section of seat cowl, reckon that would look ok don`t you  .......ferk thats two of ya twisting me arm now  ............reckon ya spot on with the suggestion tho fella............just need to grow some now to attempt it  Robbo.............it certainly was fella............feel sorry for big Sam really, if ya got no squad then there`s ferk all you can do about it!!, personally i`d rather get kicked out the cups and concentrate on the Prem than see more injuries at this critical time  , already lost another today!!!!!!!...............yeah glad Andy is back......just needs to get a bit of match fitness `eh mate!! |

Ta Lui..............small i know but it`s a start!! There's no big or small start, to go somewhere you only have to take the first step and then another and so on  |

Reckon i could scratch a muffler box................oooeeer that don`t sound right does it!! Lui.......yeah it`s funny how hours far outweigh productivity fella , once construction and clean up is done it should get on a roll........providing i don`t keep changing things!! |

Thanks matey............there`s always hope A little bit of colouring in been taking place today, the original paint job on the wheels was shite so i restripped them and started over.......a little splash of colour still to add but ya get the idea huh!!   I love this free roaming style build........no rules!!! |

Robbo...........that was terrible mate , cheers mucka Dicky.....ta fella , seems a logical way to go by using neutral colours..............especially as i ain`t got a scooby about the main colour yet!!  ........lots of ideas but nothing set in stone yet Here`s a few mock up pics with the swingarm in place and the revamped shock.............reckon i `m happy with the ride height, she sits up just nicely at the back now   Also scrubbed down the rear tyre to remove the sheen and give it a more natural look...... Ta fellas |

Hey Dupes thanx very much fella and appeciate ya droppin` by ..............i normally find having a special jacket with the buckles at the back helps to relieve the frustration...........some nicely padded walls are a bonus as well , to be honest they`re not a problem at all..........just shiney instead of rusty |

The ride height is correct, I agree with you mate With the exhausts on it'll be a treat |

Cheers Lui Ok after having a discussion a couple of posts back regarding the exhaust run i decided to go with the low down pipe!!! I really wanted to run it under the seat but due to certain restrictions i am unable to do it on this model.............the shock doesn`t leave enough room for the pipework to run alongside it and also there is a moulded on strengthening piece under the swingarm, it would have meant too much work in a delicate area so i decided to play it safe rather than cause damage at this stage....sorry to disappoint you Dicky and CeeBee Maybe the next `streetie` i do i can run it the other way!!   The front end dry fitted...........again i`m just checking height/positioning etc!!  Thanx fellas |

((LOL))............CB i can assure ya that were`nt the case, you know i`m always up for a challenge but this was rather more weighing up the odds of damage over styling!!, it`s just not possible at this stage without breaking stuff!!.................plus i got a ferkin` shed load of fiddly stuff to fabricate yet any way Bill.........yeah `e ain`t far away, it`s all very well turning up at his door but i`ve heard he keeps the grass long for quick evasive action............you`d never find him fella , cheers Bill |

Ok another snippet.........and appologies for jumping all over the place with the build, this style of build lets chop and change as and when i like......... Front fender has had the bulk of the plastic removed and turned into a more retro fighter style fender..... Before.....(scuse the dust!!)  After........    And i`ve added an end to the `zorst`!!  Still got a lot of sanding and smoothing etc but it`s getting there Ta fellas |
