I have been tinkering for the last few weeks with STIG
frame work was all shot blasted and the main frame is now Olive first time to use Krylon and i like

when i was at a show last weekend i got a meter of webbing to make the rear handle to drag it out the mud

when done he will be a plugger so not being done to the standard of Emma

but new bolts as needed but if i have old bolts to do the job there will be new lock nuts on there OH and plenty of Copper slip :lol: :lol:

i will up date this now and again but not to the level i did Emma :D

im waiting for Simon to start showing :twisted: :twisted:

I daresay your humble mudplugger project will put most of our bikes to shame. You seem the kind of person that will put 100% into every build.

I agree with the above, this bike is being built as a greenlaner but it will still be a good bike. After seeing Craig's efforts last week with my sprag clutch theres no doubt his greenlaner will be a good one.

I decided to steam clean the engine today
I have a very high pressure nozzle for it and it took all the loose paint on the engine off
I had the heater on fill blast down the workshop all day in prep for paint

Im not to bothered at the Finnish as its just the Mud Plugger and will be covered in mud anyway :lol: :lol:
