Hi All,
just had a 5-6 weeks delay in my project, as my car gave up, so all spare funds etc, and time spent looking for another motor, had to get me another car, so and being fussy about what car I wanted, I did manage to get one, very cheap too, and very please with it..
so now I can get on with the mt :D I have been putting all the cables on, and now the wiring loom, all going well, and now my new sillencer has arrive :D from steve at KL, a gem it is too,this is the latest one he"s had developed for the mt500, and its stamped not for road use :lol: that is coming off, will be getting it powdercoated stating black new week :D so all an all, looking good to be finish soon...
Andy

The weld quality of the brackets looks high,but it appears to not have been given the final stage of cleaning/polishing.
Or did you request it not to be done ,as you intended to powdercoat it straightaway ?

Nice machine and different in sand colour. Hope it starts well for you, mine ain't to bad to start. You will probably burn off a bit of the number plate with that sillencer unless you have a small one.
It looks good.
