picked up some zx6r stick coils to try with the ignitech box,

have decided not to fit the ram-air system i bought, as i have a cunning plan

need some calipers now as i put the brakes off this onto the one i sold, have some black Hel lines to fit though :)

spent ages messing about with spacers to allow me to fit L rear wheels (bit lighter) ... however now have a shitter of an H2, so i may just nick the H2 swingarm, save a bit of weight and gain a larger diameter wheel spindle. Shame... i spent ages stripping/painting the swinger.. new bearings n all .. lol


shitty progress pics

slightly out of date pic, its now got 2 wheels, engine (stock ZX-4, destined for another bike, but it'll do for now) and exhaust all fitted up
