I agree, tidy shifter, your doing a brilliant build, some very cool stuff on there, have been following this one along.. cant wait to see it all finished, when you do. aye.

cheers

thanks guys
the foot clutch was giving me a bit ov greif but i think ive designd some thing thats gona work just gotta get out there and make the bits
shifter isnt quite were i want it yet but ill wait till evert thing else is finalised then see were it works best

oil tank is slightly to small for the batt to fit in to FUCK IT ALL mite start a gain on that one

I like it,except the bars sorry but just doesn't suit the rest of your fine work.

yeah im still not %100 on the bars yet but they are growing on me i did try a strait "drag bar" and it didnt suit those

this is a nice foot clutch setup, from the pages of the Horse once again

i used a ODYSSEY PC310 drycell battery, its a real small battery and it started and ran all my stuff on the sporty real good, can go any which way and handles vibrations no prob...
Length 5.43"
Width 3.39"
Height 3.98"

just a thought

brilliant work, I agree that aesthetically the window bars dont suit it, low z bars or apes or british style or dogbones, would look better imo, even halving the height of the window ones would help, again imo

ah yip i seen that issue there shaun sorta wat im gona do but with out the extra linkage and just a small cable

jon i rang odessy about 6months ago and they said they were discontunig those batts due to to many claims/complaints u must ov got a good one and crap they were /are expensive

I like that set-up Shaun, Lends it self well for a mechanical advantage one way or the other.

Looks slick as Snail shit Mike, The bars well narrow them up a bit for
f cks sake.

ha ha ha h a h a aha
we'll see wat the end result is soon enuf

Thanks Biltwell Inc.
