Scumdog,if you look at the lines they have rubber each end,so shouldn't have a fracturing problem,and the rocker feed is coiled to give it a bit of "spring" I hope they don't fracture as I'm riding up to taupo tomorrow to watch my mate burt drag race his rail and the weather is looking good.

Yeah BIG DOUG, I noticed the rubber ends on the tank lines, it was just the rocker-feed ones I was voicing my concern about, hopefully the coils pay off....is there any flex in those lines at all?

If so (If it was MY bike!) I would look at anchoring the centre of the coil area to one of the fins somehow - but then I'm a worry wart. (cause by a history of 'Bad Experiences' (tm) )

That is a fine looking bike there. Well done - nice to see a build like this as apposed to the run-o-the-mill.

DON'T NEED NO STINKING SUSPENSION,left taupo at 5pm only stopping for gas and a feed at 66 on 1 diner in foxton and sitting mostly on the speed limit home at 9.25pm not bad for a bike with no suspension now where's that chiropractors number lol.
