:-) I'll see if I can get a hold of him again.

Gonna try to swindle him into finishing this train. I don't know how much more waiting I can take.

Damn fellas thanks for all the concerns! I'm ok, just a mixture of personal **** going on, my usually job working away, doing a make over on a mates street bob and whatever little time I have left each fortnight I do what I can on the train. So ive had a hell of a lot on lately.

Update on the train, not a great deal lol. **** I wish I could say it's almost done but at the moment I've stripped the motor again, I've got the new forged flat top high comp 110 pistons in. While I was at it I threw in some better lifters (should of done that a long time ago when I did the high lift cam), and currently in need of picking up some bigger piston ring compressor as the ones I got don't quite fit over the new pistons so I can get the barrels on and bolt it back together.

Oh yeah the proper wheel with a brake flange turned up last week, only took 9 months but you get that lol.


Went back with my original plan and powder coated the whole tank shift setup gloss black so the digital display looks invisible when off. It looks sexy as if I do say so myself. Here's a bit of a sneak peak



The Dyna is turning out pretty cool. Incase you guys are interested. I made some custom drag pipes for it. Fitted and painted a XL sporty tank, which we had to cut the tunnel out and move the EFI over to fit nicely over the fat back bone on the Dyna's. Made a cool little mount for the factory speedo, idiot lights and reset button off the motor. Along with changing a few other parts and blacking a few more things out and lowering it. Oh yeah I made up a seat pan for it which is off at the trimmers at the moment. Still yet to gchange the mirrors and indicatorsc along with a custom rear fender and side plate mount. Here's a sneak peak on this one

Thanks Ron. I've gotten so use to enjoying looking at it with no front brakes, so this will take a bit of getting use to. But, the rotor does well together

Saltydog, dive away! bikes looking good man

Haha thanks bro, you'll have to venture into the dark side (Dyna pages) to see the other one. It won't be fairly simple, but cool. I'm limited to what the owner wants on it but he's given me just enough freedom to get it to a good point
