oook a little update on the build....when i fitted the new cylinder head there werent any bolts to fix the intake manifold to, so i had to get some bolts out of a hardware store and they fitted perfectly so i was able to fit the carb but then comes the next of a couple of snags...
first the polini filter was too big to fit under the seat so i had to cut a hole into the seat to make room for it...secondly my tweed weave exhaust wouldnt fit properly which i was extremely pissed off about so i had to fit the original again
:'(......once we finally got it all bk together again we were ready to fire her up for the first time (which i was sh*tting myself about) but....she fired up first time
obviously there was the usual sounds of a extremely tight and new engine being run for the first time but i managed to take her on a 10 mile trip to the in-laws house....my god the sound
she burbles and sounds mean as hell but i cant take her over 30mph and i have to keep an eye on the revs aswell....
she cruises nicely at 30 at only 1/3 of the throttle
so only another 290 miles to go before i can open her up abit more and see what she can do. just got the clutch and new clutch bell to go on then once she has been run in i can start playing with roller weights and clutch springs.
so...so far so good, fingers crossed all goes well.
heres some pics of the airfilter and what i had to do to my seat to make it fit
