Kevin,
Why don't you ask the chap that you bought it off if he has it.
I took the shell off my racing snail thinking it would make him faster.
It just made him more sluggish.

Hi Keith, I had thought about that, but that particular piece of the outfit is quiet a stressed section when you do the maths..........and however this also gives me the opportunity to get rid of some nasty spacers that have been put between the hub and disc's, and also on the top shock mounts and reduce the loading in these areas.............and.............means that I can redesign the braking system in total - - - got a few good ideas that should reduce the rising effect when the front brakes are squeezed on hard.

Is there anything else you'd like to see on there before I bring it to a meeting ??
Lanyard Kill switch including fuel pump.
Catch tray with absorbant??
Air Box ??
Rear bulkhead between engine and rear wheel ??

Any other must do's that I might have missed ??

Please PM me with you thoughts

Cheers
Kev

Seems to be coming on nicely will you be doing the ptmcrc rounds in Wales looking forward to seeing this having raced against Paul so many times

I think KEW would agree that a cup/snack holder for the passenger workstation would enhance this machine and no doubt aid performance , I'm sure KEW will be along soon to back me up :shock: :mrgreen:

Hi Lee, Yep will be doing all of the PTMCRC rounds along with maybe a few of the NHCA rounds. Just finished making a new steel lower front loop to replace the alloy one (Now banned) that fits nicely to the origanal fork legs. Unlike a few comments that have appeared on this page I'm trying to keep as much of this intact as possible, but rules change along with the times and I believe that I've saved this one from the scrap bin........even managed to get a new set of bodywork made from the origanal moulds !! Come and say hello if you're there

One thing though...........if you've been to any of the PTMCRC rounds in the last few years then you'll've seen our PINKKTM....... thats the team colours !!! :lol:
