Now ready for the MOT

Depending how keen your tester is he / she may insist on rear foot pegs (dual seat )  

Thank you for the advise, rear pegs duly fitted .

Friday will be the day it goes for the MOT.

Still not happy with the exhaust the silencer, it does come with a removable baffle but this does not make any difference to the level of the noise.

Hi Flitdog,

I got the silencer off E Bay, It is a WASSELL CHROME 18.5" REVERSE TULIP END EXHAUST SILENCE From a company called Manx Direct , it comes with various reducers so can fit different bore size down pipes. What I did for the exhaust was to use the down pipe bit from the Honda exhaust this finished up right under the foot peg, I then used an old AJS down pipe which is a tight fit over the Honda exhaust which brought it out from under the foot peg, I had to put a small dent in the top of this bit to get the clearance for it to fit. It is such a tight fit over the down pipe that no clamp was required. Hope that makes sense. 

A pootle round the garden, note the H&S slippers.

Cheers Digby,

11 am today.

After my visit to the Nationals two things become apparent, One the air filter needed some sort of shield to stop the rain running into it and two the pivot point for the rear brake torque arm needed moving. 

To address the first problem I made a aluminium shield to cove the top of the filter.

The next issue , the brake toque arm, the problem only came to light while strapping the bike down to the carrier, has I compressed the rear shocks the torque arm was limiting the movement at full deflection . This was clearly not safe, but to be honest in a real life environment it would never be a problem, but better safe than sorry. To resolve this issue I moved the original bracket from the left side of the swinging arm to the right side, I always thought this bracket was welded on but it only has a small pin welded to the the arm that locates it in position. 

So all sorted. while I was working on the bike  I gave the head light brackets a good clean, they were much admired by every one at the show, I even caught someone measuring them up so they could use them on there trails bike. not going to say who it was , but here is a clue "Ruin Everything Mechanical Eventually"

Thank you cocorico,

Its not to every ones taste. I won't be doing any more like this. Although I keep looking at pictures of Broad track racers. Now there is a thought...............................
