Just a bit of an update for anyone remotely interested.

Its done about 600 miles now and is going really well, I changed the slide from a 3 1/2 back to a 3 and upped the pilot jet from 25 to 30 to overcome a small carburettion problem but otherwise its good.

Went for a ride down along the coast yesterday, here's a pic.

My vote for Pic of the Month!

Croweaters can be a clever lot; you are showing enough promise to be an honourary West Australian!

Very very nice Brian,
Where did you get the pipes?
They look that good I'm tempted to hunt down a set for mine.
Do you think Orabanda was searching for a bite?

Top looking bike Brian, and a great photo. Should put it in best picture comp.
So we've had a sandgroper (WA), cane toad (QLD) and now a cockroach (NSW) comment on a croweater's (SA) bike. No wonder the rest of the world can't understand us.

Comments from all over OZ, the mexicans have been quiet though.

Olev the pipes came from Armours but I wasnt happy with these ones. All my bikes have Armours systems on them and they have always fitted well but this lot took quite a bit of work to get them to fit, I'm still not 100% happy with them but they will have to do.

Brian,

I have what I belive to be a set of 52 cases in the shed, "going by the engine number", but as I am a novice I'm not sure what is considered a GOOD set. I can provide more info and photo's if your'e interested.
