So I finally got my welder buddy to come round and heat up and bend the oil cooler pipes to make it past my new 4- 1. After he blew a hole in one of them and then spent about an hour making it good again, I was getting seriously excited about riding it later that day.
However once it was all together - I still hadn't done anything about the snapped exhaust stud on #4, funnily enough it ran quiet with the old 4 - 2 on there - I started it and got the leaky exhaust popping noise from #4 so am now waiting for my left handed drill bit set (sweet deal from a company in Ontario - $54 shipped for a set when the one and only shop in town that had them wanted $25 for one) to sort it out.
I'm so close to being able to just ride for a while that I can taste it!!
Incidentally, I am going to paint the tank and panels in the winter - no riding then up here
- and have found a place that will do a really nice black metallic powder coat, but that's only good for the tank as I don't believe you can traet the panels like that. I am considering going a different route as I want them to match - shame.
Si.
