Yea the only thing wrong with the mullins trees is they only accept a spool hub but it's alright as my 39mm trees will be bored to 41mm by monday fark didn't even know we had cnc mill's in upper hutt and just 5 mins away good stuff.

At my mate daves tonite drinking and talking shit in his garage looking over his shovel and start talking about su carbs for shovels etc and he says hold on a minute and dissapears and comes back with an su carb and manifold for a panhead oh shit, and then proceeds to give it to me so thats the carb and airfilter sorted for the pan and did a bit of digging around on the web and find the manifold is a bit rare so a good score.

Damm the grinderfest,I have just spent 14 hours straight on this bike but have got the forward controls done,shortened the fork tubes and fitted the internal fork bearing cups (they didn't fit so had to modify) fitted the seat and made the brackets for it,then fitted the tank brackets so it doesn't fall off ,found some pipes to put on for the minute and fitted oil lines will fit a rear tyre tomorrow and then will sort the triumph out tomorrow and clean the shovel Ahh who needs fucking sleep anyway.

I gave up trying to finish mine and just polished them instead. Laughing
