Not a criticism but cant help thinking it would suit a shorter seat IMHO looking at the side on pic.

yes I originally owned Wills bike which I bought of Pasc another Club Member and Will was looking for a project so I sold it to Him

I thought I knew the swingarm. :)
Nice work Jb. Looks good so far.
I might have a few bits left from my turbos (sold the last one about 12 months ago) you are welcome to them when I sort them out. Also got 4 turbo heads (some cam caps missing). Prob put them on ebay when I get a chance.

Pasc, you have a pm :)

ayup sanderz, nice video mate :D when dave did the write up for streetfighters mag he called my 650 the 'shed 6' so i thought shed 7 was a natural progression :lol:

i know what you mean about the seat....i have been thinking that another inch on the swingarm would improve the balance of the bike, but didnt really want to take off the davida arm.....it'll all work out in the end i guess :smk
