Ron I'm away at the moment, im always away from town for my other job, so I blabber on here a lot. I'll be home tomorrow though and I'll be getting stuck into getting the final things ready to start it hopefully by the weekend.

NSR had the bleeder valve stuck in the calliper. It was impossible to get out. To the point had to machine it out and tap a larger valve in with a new bleeder valve inside that. I buy a lot of stuff through Exile and it's all be good quality parts, so I believe this was just one was those freak one off problems.

Thank racerkvn, appreciate it bro! Fingers crossed in a couple of days from now

Ok I fired it up tonight, not finished but man was good to fire it up with virtually no problems. Obviously needs a big tune up with all the work done. Video quality doesn't do it justice. This 11:1 110 cube just sounds nasty in person. Sorry for poor quality but that's phones for you

Way cool, looked like the video operator was scared to get too close.

That wasn't a Tooheys New long neck.

Here in KY we don't have annual inspections, and there was no inspection requirement when I bought it - I'm not sure what the regulations are.

I do have one on now - ride in the rain once and you'll be looking to put one on.
