Hi men
thanks a lot for the compliments!
Most of the second hand parts comes from Z-Fever. If you need something and it's not on the website, just send an email to André. If it's available he'll let you know. And he understands English. I always write to him in English because my German is worse than my English.

Hello men
she's alive!!! I got her engine running during the past weekend but there were a few things I didn't like.
There was oil leaking from the valve cover, the battery wasn't charging and the exhaust pipe from the third cylinder wasn't tight.
I fastened the bolts of the valve cover, tightened the exhaust of the third cylinder and replaced the seperate regulator and rectifier with a combined one of an ST. Now the battery recieves 14,5 volts and the headlight doesn't flicker anymore.
So far so good.
Now I have to wait for the spring to import her into Belgium. The frame comes from Holland so I'll have to go to the customs service and do a bit of paperwork.
Once she's imported and I receive the documents I can get her registered and get an insurance and then I can brake her in.
Once I'm sure she runs fine and all the "bugs" are gone she'll be up for sale. I can't keep them all you know!
All the electric components are working fine, yes even the brake idiot light works!
So, now it's about time to start a new project!
More to come about the new project within a few weeks.
