 By the (rabbit)'ears' I guess you mean the pulled and pulling levers, maybe no need for more piccies, unless you really want to as you've extended yourself more than I intended, which I appreciate.
  More pictures means more potentially dumb questions for me to ask, all good. 75 miles and crankin' good stufff -happy for you. Nearly snapped off some of mine today but had other stuff to deal with.
  Going on night shift(12hrs) next week for a few so may or may not have time for much anything.
  Happy crankin', cheers, duTch

Hiya Pedro, I finally got around to a couple of dodgy photos before darkness set in, hence the background blanket thing. Pegs started out as a mockup,planned to do them in stainless but as  time goes it's getting to be the article, or 'work in progress'. Ta for the help offer, but the biggest help I need is on my head *conf*, any probs are me trying to do too many ideas simutaneously.
 
second pic has the stock lever parked over top(along side) of interim bodgeup lever.Brake and shifter levers sit close to front outside of pipes, all will be revealed before too long.
   Feel free to pass comment on the frame colour(just getting in early- not to sure if I like it),
    Cheers

ps must have more miles and counting, 'cos haven't heard otherwise?

"Muy mas mejor" accessing the video. Very nice running bike. Wonder what compression pistons you are running? Kicking mine from the saddle, with 9:1, just isn't that easy, or you have "Super Leg". Also, liked the Chapala Moto Evento.

Just had a thought Pedro what do you have for fuel down Mexico way, any of that sugar cane stuff (thinking maybe it accounts for the sweet running Richard) *smiley4*

it's the crappiest,dirtiest fuel you've ever seen! as to pistons they're 20 over flat tops and the old ones were standard size dome top[dated 1958]. when they were still ok kicking over was a little harder but not by much.
so i guess 51 years of playing hockey did the trick-jaja!
