speed run 2009

Things have been a little busy, so I have not had any time for my project.I hear the 2009 speed run is scheduled for the 20th of march...but i will definately not be partcipating this year.

when the bendpipe decides to fly off on a run,I think it's time to rebuild!

I will be redoing the electricals and Crankshaft and will also do the final finisihing touches, no rat bike from now on!

The fuel tank with a capacity of 3 litres will be shifted behind the seat.the electricals will be where the tank once was in a sleek housing.
