That's got some nice trick bits on, (just zoomed in on the pic) love the wheel colour too, is that the theme for the rest of the paintwork. Definately need a trick kickstart though.

Looking good....! Will be very special when it's done.. It's amazing how not having the exhausts on tends to make our bikes look 'unbalanced'.. It only really happens with two strokes, they miss the big expansion chamber under the engine.. Or perhaps it's just me... |

I've got an nk kickstart it's good quality I've not used it much as I'm still building ,my engines running its starts easily with the short kickstart
Ps I've got st/st Kenny's they are also top quality and sound great

Hi There is a lot of really nice parts involved with that build. Did you do the subframe, oil tank ? Dusty |

Hi Dusty ,
Yes all my work except
The ally ignition switch mount , the original switch mount had been chopped but I wanted to keep the original steering lock ,fatherinlaw machined it , looks great but weighs more than the engine !!
The engine was done by "Racoon Rebuilds" it was quite badly mashed, bought as a non runner , I would like to have attempted the engine myself but as it was my first attempt at a Hybrid I wanted to focus on what I knew I could do .
Fatherinlaw Phil aslo helped with the new wiring loom
I really should have started a build thread way back.
By the way my Mrs wants to swap my bike for your dog

Hi Steve You've done a great job of the subframe/oil tank - very nice Looks like you have a handy father in law too ! Your missus has good taste - Indie - my springer spaniel, is the best dog I've ever had. She spends as many hours in the garage as I do !! I know Mark - Raccoon - he lives a mile away from me and bought my old Lc Hybrid. I saw him out on it the other day - are you local to him then ? Dusty |
