RE: sillycone hose, I did not get on with it either- original rubber is fine for the job. I dont know if some have got a thicker walled hose or a different construction but I found it flexed and worked its way off. If you get an original rubber a new one be carefull so seat it propely before tightening and dont horse the clamps up I have seen (had) a couple ruined due to this.
Haha, with all this on and filled with kit, I'll probably only get to 30mph! :lol:

I do actually want to get a rack for the front. And I also want to put stuff at the top to bungee things to if I need it. AND I still want to bolt the gun box on somewhere too. But to make full use of the bike I think a bigger engine is definately on the cards. Anyone got a spare 604 engine? ;)

Might even consider one of them brand new 500 engines... Hmm... Need to sell my other bike first though. Anyone fancy a BMW K1100? 8-)

Wow, how selfless of you! :lol:

For those interested, here's a vid I took with the silicone hose in use - doesn't look very good! :shock:

I added a blood box on the back earlier too. Looks a bit odd at the moment but don't worry, I'll paint it green!

The difference may be that I'm getting paid to have the hideous box! ;)

I got the new engine to carb rubber boot thing and fitted it earlier.

Boy, what a difference! The carb feels really secure now, engine runs sweet, I'm loving it!

I told SWMBO I was just going out to fill the bike up with petrol (2 miles down the road maybe). An hour later I returned 8-)

LOVE IT!

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I want to check if the speedo works properly, but from it I read the top speed I had was about 75 or 80, but it felt more comfortable at 60/65 along the A27.

I've not christened it with a green lane yet, maybe tomorrow 8-)

I've got to use it for work on Monday though so don't wanna break it, haha
