ok, well not quite! But it is running way better than it was.

I put some decent bike oil in it (had 'car/bike' oil in it) and got it a new battery. Revs no probs but seems to run at about 90-95% and then have little bursts of full power, im assuming shit coming through from the tank as it hasnt had more than 1L in it for last year or more.

Took it into spectrum to get the cam chain and maybe the shims(?) done coz it rattles a little. The mechanic said it sounds sweet other than the cam chain, and he's gonna check the carbs for me too.

Once he's done his magic it's of to the Rego shop for compliance/wof/reg and then it'll be a road legal beastie :devil2:

yes very, so naked that the paints coming off :killingme
I really need to get it done properly coz this can shit really isnt holding up.

But the flaming zorst thing is a plan, just gotta get another can so that if I screw it up i can still ride the bike, plus im not too keen on setting my ass on fire

:devil2:
