handlebars ,dont ya mind , 92l2 , been a bit "laid-low" an its sat in front room since new year taunting me . wasnt all fair sailing today ,i'd wanted to upgrade to 6mm/2mm cables but those bars wont accomadate em . so back to 5mm/1.5mm cables ,an still hangin shy of cutting into the chrome to make a hole for my thumb choke cable .did also dry fit the pk runners ,reckon i'm goin with em rubber-less just ali channel . an before xmas took advantage of a 10% off yuletide offer an grabbed a litre of azurra laguna like my v100's . turning into a default setting colour for me it seems . now if i can fix 1 mates t5 classic ,anothers t5 classic with sprint engine ,get my mates gp forks built an v50/pk's front hub nut turns up n mott-ed ,i'll have time for this one again . an shaun ,i know oz's kindly offered ya a gaze at any probs ,but before stickin ya lump in a shop ask him or me what we'd want to bearing/seal it ,an blend ya barrel to cases . you might save more in hours than petrol delivery costs will be . cant waste all my time staring at fat lasses arses .

MOT ready at last , an then whilst waiting on a reg number time for the 100 off little jobs . glass re-inforce n paint the muddy , re-paint horncast an fit thicker seals/gaskets so it sits right over the brake line .an as soon as fuel tap turns up remove temporary tank n fit the proper 1 . needs a less ugly seat but that ones comfy , 1 job for future i guess ,make a slimmer seat ,rear hinged an go "flash" an have a gas-lifter ,Ooh-er . an make a throttle pull extender ,as throttles only got the movement for a 20mm carb not anything larger ,dont want to clutter bars with a fast action throttle .but that would allow me to run a thumb-choke cable without drilling .decisions,decisions .

No but for some reason it puts me in mind of a Baja Bug. No idea why though.

I was thinking more of a cutdown VW rather than something onion based, along these lines but still unsure as to why it has me thinking that way.
