Okay Tony
.
My mechanic converted his bike a while ago so He talked about him & his mates & their conversions - I expect a noticeable difference to the old 650 motor [ch128513][ch128077]

The guy with the white can is my mate Brenton - he wants to take it for a run - should I let him ??????

I'm thinking NO!

Great job Adrian, you can be very proud of your work.

Finally got to take it for a run yesterday - only 7 Ks to just see how she felt.
.
Running a lot rough - the speedo (Acewell) not reading correctly so I bought the gearbox connector hoping to correct this - can't reach the foot brake as the footrest is in the wrong position - need to recheck the timing.
.
So back in the shed & on the hoist for a bit of tinkering - once the weather cools off a bit.
.
So getting there slowly [ch128077][ch128513]

Very well done Adrian.  Congratulations. 

If your mate with the cane wants to take it for a ride just make sure he wears a helmet.  Don't wan't him getting hurt if he falls off.   ::)
