That's great, thanks!
Wish they'd do a badge, as well. And maybe some HSTs...

My Parma engine is in now; I had to do a few bits 'n' pieces before I could put it in (swap stator, rear hub, exhaust header; trim the carb hole in the frame). There's one or two things I'm keeping an eye on; downpipe sits 3 - 4 mm from the rear tyre, clutch doesn't seem to disengage on the kickstart. Hopefully it will once the engine is running...

There's a couple of fins missing off the fan, unfortunately they are together...
Should I snap one off the opposite side? Cooling V dynamic balance?

I believe it's a standard clutch with 4 plates. I didn't build it...
I have an XL one I'll fit if it gives me any problems!

I just finished fitting Terry's Parma engine to my ETS. Primed it with a couple of kicks, ignition on, started 1st kick! Sounds fit as f*ck. I need to go down a bit on the pilot I think, but it's ticking over already... Take... These broken fins... etc Case had been drilled to fit CDI bracket. I redrilled the bracket instead. Inline adjuster solved the problem of the outer throttle cable being too short! Throttle as snappy as ever. Instant bling. ;D
