Slow motion

Things are a bit slow at the moment, as would be expected at this time of year. i've been scratching about in the workshop while Phil is taking care of several bits and pieces and sorting his Laverda. All i can do for now is clean and polish, mess about and tinker with things.





One job i decided to look at was the height and mounting of the tank. Packing up the front mounts have moved the tank back meaning we have to loose the heavily over weight rear mount assembly.... good!
We intend to try the YZF carbs and air box. The carbs seem like they will do the job but the YZF airbox is slightly taller. Hopefully raising the tank will help. We are going to look at ways of getting more air in the intake.

Coming up with a rear shock is the next major hurdle....finding the money is anyway!
as soon as that happens, we should be able to apply a bit more throttle to the project.
Hopefully this weekend will be productive!.... I'm keen to get moving!
