    OK,finally found this thread again.search didn't work Painter sent some pictures so far and I'm not that convinced on the words yamaha on the side fairing. and I think it needs a racing stripe on the top of the rear cover. let me know what you think guys like this racing strip on the smaller top cover? not sure on the "yamaha" looks amateur , I think I use "machine" font which looks better. also there's a split in the fairing and the paint isn't flat he's not got the front fairing or tank done yet
  12. I don't likey either
  13. Whilst I had a bit of a breakdown when the throttle cable snapped, I got a lift from the breakdown van and he lived near Jerez for 15 years. The guys said that the kids there get chainsaw motors and fit pipes, handlebars and throttles on them to mimick the GPbikes. I thought he was pulling my plonker but it looks as though it happens
  14. you normally have to measure the width of the bands to the cc of the bore, that way the power band is resonating at the correct frequency of the engine and ensures longevity as well as power! hope that helps

    Update; painter phoned today, he's just finishing off the base paint and ordering the vinyl today. I picked up the machining job yesterday from MSC (or western rebores) in manchester. top bloke,ex bike racer and checks clearances for you too. so he puts in a head stud after i snapped mine trying to get it off, swapped over the liners to the ones that match the pistons,honed and skimmed them, then checked all my valves (one was bent) Took the best valves from the spares motor, then recut the valve head and valves. Then he skimmed the head all for £200. love the machine oil smell too here's the skimmed barrel and the head work
  18. you get two power bands in a packet
