Re: My winter project
Is that still the standard rear shock fitted? By the way, Its Beautiful and I love it!!! You need to build more of those frames and sell them.

Re: My winter project
Well done mate, thats come together beautifully
Its a credit to your hard work.
Nice discreet colour scheme too (i.e. not bright orange!!
)
Enjoy Rockingham. I've done it 3 times on two different TRX's and its a great smooth TRX-friendly track (national is better than international though)

Re: My winter project
RS fabrications headers, are they local to you, did they keep a jig for making more?

Wilbers are not well known in the UK but they make great stuff.

Re: My winter project
Yep same RS Fabrications - no jig, they do loads of one off fabrications, I left them the bike with the modified seat /frame, and I gave them the Akra can, and they had another Co do the bends (from their measurments) then they welded it all together.Mincehead wrote:RS fabrications headers, are they local to you, did they keep a jig for making more?

Re: My winter project
Is it stainless?
What diameter are the headers i.d, It looks tapered from what I can see?
Oh last question, expensive?

Re: My winter project
Exhaust looks great, how much did the one off fabrication cost. I am talking to a firm who are quoting £500 for an complete Akra copy in stainless, I want an 2-1-2 however as I want to retain the stubbie silencers am awaiting reply
