The kids found it funnier than me... I suppose that's the whole point of the Gag anyway. One thing for certain - massive smiles all round and EVERYONE wants to have a go...
Well it's MINE ... and until I get over the fact that its new to me they can all sod off. It's MY new toy... and like Dr Evil would say... Whaaahahahahahaha
Can't wait until smokefest !! _________________ We are where we are... |

Made a little more progress with the wireing today;

Not exactly pretty i know but it looks better with the lights out
I have still got to somehow tidy up this mess though

The mounts look alot tidier than mine! I think mine might have been a prototype lol
Very helpfull info and makes mounting mine alot clearer, my rad shouldnt be as much of a problem now! Maybe need to get me one of those electric fans though! _________________ Gagging for it |

Oh and whats the width of the spacer in the front mount! I guess this aligns the chain ok? Ill get some pics up of mine soon and you will easily see the difference, my mounts were all chopped out and new mounts made, means it will not go straight back to original! _________________ Gagging for it |

Well Paul i can't comment on how neat the engine mounts are as i've never seen standard YSR one's
I will measure that front spacer for you, will probably be next weekend as don't usually get shed time in the week And as far as my wonky eyes can tell the chain alignment is ok |

Your mounts look very good fletch, very near original, my top mount has neen removed and a brace put in place with the mount coming from this, and my lower mount has also been removed and a bar put in, front mounts are the same but mine are not as clean as yours!
Ill get some pics up so you can compare them, the only advantage to my setup that i can see is the ease with which i could make up other brackets for other engines as they are all removeable, but i dont think im going to need anymore than a 125 in there! I do wonder what will fit though!
Have a good week fletch and thanks again for your help, hope your feeling better too _________________ Gagging for it |

Fitted my new parts today
All the lights etc are now working
JDM light unit looks cool i think but my hugger has become twisted in storage so it makes rear end look twisted
Also thought rear end sat too high like German street fighter
But with number plate fitted it looks better
Also fitted top fairing with lights and indicators to check they all working too
Its coming together nicely i think
Could also sit on it for first time as i now got seat and surprisingly its not too cramped for my nigh on 6foot frame, which is nice |

Fairing lowers and exhaust fitted today
I need to cut vent larger in leftside fairing so that air can be drawn through the radiator
I'm going to open it up to where the pecil line is, i think it will still look ok
Think i may have issues with ground clearance on righthand side as the pipe seems to stick out quite a way But this will only be a problem on bumpy righthand bends &theres not many of them in UK is there |
