Got em off ebay, 330mm, meant for a honda monkey bike, just pushed out the steel sleeves in the rubber bush’s and it was perfect.

Just slapped them on and got on with other things so i didn’t get a chance to fiddle, they might be adjustable, certainly you can add more nitrogen and more preload. Need to investigate what those blue knobs on the top of the reservoir are for.

Chopped of 6cm from each side of the bars and bolted on the new (heavy) bar ends, only a test drive will tell if they worked. also fixed up yesterdays welding on the upper fairing brackets, not a lot left to do.

1. Air filter, was gonna fit on a massive gokart airbox but the main frame spine would have to go. probably do it next year along with the 171 engine.

2.Electrics, need a really small 6v battery to hide some where and must cut out loads of redundant wires.

3.Tyres, can’t get tt900’s so will probably go for Michelin pilot sportys.(edit: looks like sava mc7’s are basically tt900’s)

4.Paint, i hate body work, bloody boring.

5.Lights, rear brake and head light.

And thats it, i’d like to move the foot pegs back more and shorten the fork legs but damn it the summer is here thing’s like rear brakes can wait.
