Got a link? I keep searching scalemodels and it sends me everywhere exept to a forum.

Thanks Tim if you want to follow this build (or any of my others) I'm on other forums, britmodeller or scalemodels.

Please say it isn't so !

Dont let them get under your skin.

Please PM me and  maybe we can come up with a solution..... something less than "Global Destruction" but  more productive than "fluffy kitten's".

This is my last post on here a certain person obviously would prefer me not on here. You win, I just wish I hadn't came back.

Hi all finished the rear suspension and made the rear stand as this thing is getting heavy and is not very stable standing on only it's rear wheel and the exhaust

Hi all well I've got to say I'm very disappointed with the hardware upgrade kit. I'm not an engineer and I don't have a box of assorted small diameter bolt hexnuts or assorted rods but Paul seems to think anyone buying his kit has them I now have to try and find some threaded rod for the foot pegs, anyway whingeing aside the heal guard is missing the attachment hardware Paul suggests to make sure you can get the centred you cut the heads off the bolts and glue them in place allowing you a chance to centre them 

On closer inspection looking at the rear of the part there are two lugs where the bolts go through on the real thing which if drilled from the rear gives you the ability to centre them also giving you the realism of having the bolts sticking out the back once added

The top bolt on this bracket as supplied is a Philips screw.

Paul's solution is to cut the head off a socket screw and glue it over the screw

Moving along now, still a long way to go though, but at least it's looking like a bike now.

Not happy with the oxygen sensor wires I think they're too thick, they're networking wires I don't have anything thinner, any suggestions.

Hi all well flitting about decided to start on the front fairing it may not look it but it's a fairly complex bit 

Thanks 

Thanks guys. 

Hi all here is the next update pocher would have you attach the rear sprocket like this

Thing is the rear sprocket is attached via nuts screwed onto studs so grubs screws were used to fix it.

Then a try of all we have so far.

They Definetly look better !

Hi all these are the screws that come with the kit.

At a huge cost of 3.49 for 20 including postage I think these look better 

(Ron aka silver911 told me where to get them

Here is the next bit. Got some blue paintwork on it now.

Done some to the frame and the swing arm

Couldn't resist trying it with the engine

And the swing arm

Hi all well I couldn't resist putting together what I have so far.

This thing is huge. This is a 1/6 bike with a similar size engine.

And it's heavy.

Hi all I've detailed up the airbox.

My first attempt at the paper filter

My fourth

Hi all started on the fuel system added the butterfly valves made from aluminium foil onto which I put brass leaf.

Then I cut it to fit

Then cut a piece of sprue then halved it.

Covered it with the brass leaf then drilled two holes and added a couple of screws

thats detail ! very cool  

It does look good. Nice work 

Well we've been away for the weekend at our friends caravan and I came back to a bit of a disaster

All the plastic parts are fine I couldn't work out what had gone wrong but now I have

No primer, I assume the plastic parts were primed hence they are ok.

I've removed the paint

(Another chance to see how big this is its nearly as long as my thigh)

Now I just have to 're prime it, I'm just wondering if I have enough of the blue left this thing is so big it took nearly a whole can to paint it(admittedly I did both sides of all the parts as I was not sure if the back of any parts could be seen) hopefully no more problems will occur.

I still say " If you add gas that thing should fire right up ! "

Looking good so far. Can't wait to see the wheel's on it!  NICE BLUE !!!
