Very neat welding.

I guess the completely snapped brackets were an easy spot but the others were a lot more tricky to find so well done.

I need to check mine properly. I have only given it a quick glance realy.

Cheers. Definitely worth a look particularly VJ22 suspension mount which is a know problem area. I'd hate to think what would happen if it finally gave up during a track session Shocked

Finished building the engine now. Just been doing the all important leak test. Found a few minor leaks mainly on the power valve covers which isn't a problem, but also on the right hand inlet reed cage. This took me several attempts to seal before testing air tight. That would have definitely caused me a weak mixture problem. Happy with the test now, all tight at about 6psi and no significant drop off over a 10 minute test cheers

Yeh, Happy New Year to yourself too Artie, and everyone else come to think of it.

Is it time to organise the "Not the Royal Wedding Anniversary Rideout?"

Only three weeks to the Minus Two Stroke Rally, I should be better by that time..

Will the RGV be there then Andy?

No it's not ready yet and I'm in no rush. Engine back in all electrics sorted, rear suspension assembled. Thinking about rebuilding the forks as one of them appears to have leaked. Also need to get the wheels powder coated. Will be ready for spring. If I go to the -2stroke do it might have to be -4stroke for me. Thinking of taking the cb100. I'm not taking the X7 out on salty roads.
