never bothered with drilling the damper rods etc, i suppose it could make a difference.
i posted a few pictures on the forum of a 450cc conversion i borrowed the pikkies off german ebay a few years back. you need to use the search facillity!
gutted i missed you, it was really busy though and we stayed there till 3pm. you might not recognise me now that i've lost 4 stone and shave all my head!
