I was thinking it looked a bit weighty all along Mat and to help you out I am willing to send a shipping agent to your house at my expense to bring the big lardy thing to me (after you refit the engine etc) you can also send that scruffy looking No 12 Alitalia thing in the background too if you like as that looks quite heavy too

Totally STUNNING mat

Sure! what about the RSVR 1000 Factory that´s in the background too? .. the No 12 Alitalia needs a good cleaning, I will have to do that before you agent arrives!

.. in your dreams :P they stay where they are, but you are welcome to visit some time

thanks for the nice comments guys I really appreciate it!

Mat
Having spent so much time on your labour of love(s) all you can see are the very minor imperfections which have bugged you all along and I understand this I have allowed myself to be bogged down by detail in the past too (not on anything quite as beautiful as your last two bikes) but the same principle, trust me on this we mere mortals looking in on your posts can only see pure motorcycle porn so cut yourself some slack and stop beating up
They do look bloody heavy though, best I get the shippers there ASAP

Do you mean the plastic lever at the handlebars or the plastic thing that holds the cable in the carburetor?.. I still have some of the brass choke grommet replacements left if that´s what you need

Its the plastic lever on the handlebars..I want to try something different with the choke any idea?

not really.. I think the normal one works just fine .. you should be able to get a replacement cheap I think ?

you could always fit one of these universal types.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Choke-leve...#ht_500wt_1202

but it just looks stupid and you will have to hold it, as it can´t stay in position by it self..

regards Mathias

[msm]

Yeah will look for one, thanks Mathias!
