how did you get on with the ally sump/bash plate, did you manage to make one gary?

i presume this was the one you required the ally spacers for.

looks excellent

Cheers George, using the original bash plate now just drilled with 2p size holes as it was lighter than the thick ally!

Ally spacers now fitted front and rear..

That reminds me can I order one of your brake rod kits and about 5 meters of o ring cord for
The timing belt case...

All I need is for you to sneak around my place steal my bike and then feel really guilty and return it looking like new... ;) ;) ;)

I see you've moved away from the Force performance silencer--what is the new one? Is it something that was intended for another bike, and if so, how much adaptation was needed to make it fit where it is now?

Hi, the silencer is titanium I'm trying to make it as light as possible. Its designed for a ccm. It fits to the standard centre section with a sportax link pipe.. Its all very expensive but does save quite a bit of weight..
