I think you forgot to type in your reply there Ali :smt102
Any how, pipes are welded up but not polished ,but sod that, and as Wolfie so rightly pointed out , sod the neighbours too, it is time to fire 'er up proper!! :thumright:
Heres a quick picture as i wheeled it out of the garage, (but before i put the side panel badges on), you can see the heel guard better in this one. I haven't fixed the seat catch yet, so yes it is held down with a rubber band :oops:

Still loads to do but you get the idea!

Here is a little video of the first proper start up, apologies for the dodgy camera work ,but my 16 year old step-daughter took it. It smokes like a pig , but thats a good thing i guess as it tries to burn off the excess two stroke from assembly. It also blows out of the right hand header as i haven't bothered to seal them until after i polish them, but hey ho , i'll just shut up and show you the video :roll: :roll:

Had a busy weekend at Stafford helping Simon so i didn't get time to let you know about my latest news on the special. I asked blood donor Bob to make me some washers to space out my front sprocket (long story) so in typically over engineering fashion he made me these amazing spacer washers :thumright: . The ally spacers are for the rear sprocket.

How sad , getting excited about washers , but they are cool aren't they. 1.5 mm each. But what i am most pleased with is the tubes. Worked out what they are yet??????

This is after i polished them. Not worked it out yet???

want a clue????????

I understand that torque tubes (as i call them) help the midrange on piston ported engines by allowing the fuel standoff to be uniterrupted by suddenly hitting the back of the pod filters :smt102 . Dunno really but it sounded interesting when i read it somewhere, so hey, why not :smt102
Apart from which i think they look cool and sort of period look with the pinch bolt on top :pirat: .

The bad news is i didnt get time to polish the pipes (i know you like 'em like that Adrian :D ), or even ride it yet :( . Hopefully i will get to ride it one night this week so i will take some pictures of it complete, cos it looks nicer now with the grabrail on.
Later , my triplin' chums
