50 PAN COIL MOUNT...

...is done...sorry about the shots...man i gotta buy a camera soon...

he greated me with a hiss and a smile.....

....this bloke greated me when i got home today....he was at the door to the shed and just needed to say hello to me... i called my local bush expert Noel for some advice and he said "just give him a poke and he will say adios and catch ya later"... he didnt...instead he wanted to have a piece of me and told me to get the fuck out... i called the local council to see if there was a relocation expert around...they put me onto some other department who told me they might come out tomorrow and then when he wanted to come inside i had to put my foot down.....so to speak... the common brown snake.."pseudonaja textilis" ... venom..LD50=0.041 sq yield 2mgto the power of 5.....strong coagulant, neurotoxic, weakly haemolytic and cytotoxic...he measured 4 foot... in other words one bad mother farker that will kill you... guy bolton......what were you saying the other day????

50 PAN.....inlet manifold and carby....

.....one thing that...i wont say gives me the shits....but does annoy me is how my right knee hits the carb on my 48.....so i thought id try putting the carb on the left side of this bike and pushing it forward. i couldnt do it on the right side otherwise the inlet length would be too long. i cut, heated, bent and welded a standard s and s manifold to see if it would work...seems nice in the position now. i found a guy who can mandrel bend alloy tube the right size for me so i could do a much simpler version of this....and im thinking of doing a couple ...let me know if anyone is interested.

50 PAN PEGS.....

....found these pegs at joes motorcycles in canberra....i think they work well on this bike...thin and light.

50 PAN RATCHET TOP.....

...im gonna run the lever reversed on this bike to suit the mid controls so ive switched all the linkage around and remade the ratchet top setup....the lever ended up real short...should end end being a real quick little changer...

i been workin, workin, workin day an night...

....seems like lately i aint got time to scratch....stuff in the workshop is coming along but nothing really to show for it....busy doin stuff on the property and building....i love livin in the country....this is a shot down the back block...a beautiful place to be when the black cockatoos are flying around.....and the mist is rising up through the valley...
