Should have a few decent updates to post soon, just waiting for a new ignition system to arrive. I put my original kit away so safe, I can't find it anywhere and had to order a new one from Interspan. Sodds law it will turn up after the new one (£600 bah) lands.
Got a ZX6R race bike in my barn at the minute though. Just fitted a couple of sets of new fairings and am painting those ready for this years Manx, so still busy doing stuff. It will stay at mine and be prepped here, so it's interesting having a modern bike to work on.
Bike belongs to a local privateer, lovely bloke and his wife taught my son in primary school. It was that connection that lead to my dad going over to the Manx to help them two years ago and then me, my son and my dad going over last year to do the same. Good times, the three of us together doing this and it's time we all cherish.
Lol, £600 for something I can't find is a real headache!

Like my Aunts and Uncles in the UK would say:
"That's Brilliant!"
"That's Brilliant!"
That's precisely the style of Hi-Level exhaust I'm after for my KZ Flat Tracker - assuming I get that far :

Cheers Rob. I'm just waiting on that ignition thing now, but I found some neat harness or cable ties from an auto jumble a while back. Loads neater than tie wraps
I picked up a handful of similar ones that had been punched out of truck inner tubes, but you could cut them out really. These came from a Lucas stand and I've never seen them before.

Standard issue on most 50's / 60's bikes from the factory ............ they had a habit [ old ones ] of cracking and congealing to the wire / frame !

Finally my ignition unit arrived, actually after I physically collected it, so I had to make a mounting for it. I made a cardboard template to house the Interspan unit and transferred the sizes onto 2mm plate, trimming and folding it (harder with steel). Painted it with etch and then with 2k black and I'm about done now. So, the bikes now running and this is leading up to that clip.
Anyway, it's a total loss 20 volt type system, that will run the bike for 8 hours continual use, so is more than adequate for what I will ever demand from the bike. I doubt I'd want to ride this for more than 2 hours, so being practical it's a good solution.
