Exhausted mummy

Wrapping the exhaust with 'power wrap' To give an Extra bit of Racing theme... However, one thing is the look of it, another thing is keeping the noise Down.. I know this works, from one of my previous cars. A VW Corrado VR6, with raceland stainless Steel header, the noise without power wrap was horrible, almost like the header was cracked everywhere. With power wrap that noise disapeared completely. I hope this Will keep that 3-1 pipe low enough to pass MOT without trouble.

The engine has Been fired up, and runs great. What a fantastic Sound. My first time ever to hear a 2stroke triple
IRL.

Painting

The tank and seat is Ready for some Colour...stripes are made with the green tape. Im not sure If im keeping the gold Colour...

My good friend eskil gave a hand pulling the dead cow around the seat foam, the result was Way better Than i had hoped for. Thanks mate!

I descided to keep The gold Colour for now. That and other things Can be changed later.

The local photo shop is making the 'SUZUKI' logos for the tank.

Timing is everything...

Unless you wanna cook a piston...

I made a test lamp to see exactly when the breaker points opens. With this tool and a Dial gauge indicator, the ignition is spot on!

Doubble disc brakes assembly

Parts for the upgraded brake system is Ready for assembly. The two discs are 295mm in diameter. First they were blasted clean of paint in the middle hub, painted and Then They have Been cleaned in the lathe using sandpaper.. After the MOT, I Will have Them drilled with holes for a more race'y look.

The brake Master cylinder is off a GT750. This Master cylinder has a 16mm piston, instead of the 550's 14mm. This was bought on EBay in USA. I Will fit a complete repair kit, just to be on the safe side...
