Ive bitten off more than I can chew. Ive got a heap of work to do on mella yella -not the least of which being to increase the ground clearance on the right side.
It seems the 7 fiddy needs just as much work to get it sorted.
Holey shit am I gonna be burning the midnite oil.
Ohh --and suggestions as to how to get a section welded into my exhaust system of both bikes would be apreciated.

Let me know if you want to hook up with a decent TIG welder, I have a friend who's just finishing his certification.

Best of luck Frosty.

well ok in the greater scheme of things my problems seem small--BUT
Ive taken the clutch to bits and I can't see why it doesnt work
the slave is pushing on the clutch and I've freed the clutch plates

Well I -with some help figured out wots wrong. It seems somewhere from here to welly a sort of thimble fell off the clutch pushrod.
Realising that working 7 days a week then nights on the racebike makes Frosty a grumpy boy Im paying a muffler crowd to sort out the exhausts on both bikes.

Chin up mate. If it was easy every damn fool would be trying to do it.

I guess it will all be worthwhile after that first win in pre89's :2thumbsup
