Yep

Frame and components are going for blast and powder coat today.

I will fit the new seat cover today.

Engine will be transplanted from a 440 in the shed. Engine is good , PVL ignition and Mikuni

 All being fair and reasonable , meaning if i dont get too pissed at the two weddings we are going to Next Saturday, yes two weddings one in the early afternoon and one late afternoon(Engine transplant Sunday).

With the exception of some very minor issues ,all other components are ready.

Stay tuned

No shame.

Happy times coming for the 440 engine being transplanted into the 490 chassis.

Happy times for the roller as maybe someone will take it and turn it into something.

Good alround result

Frame and other components back from blast and powder coat.

Seat recovered.

Pick up new swing arm bushes tommorrow.

All being fair and reasonable it will be a roller by Monday ready for the 440 engine to be fitted.

 Shoey and Ribbo had the Reverse Fraken Maico 440 at the Rockley Vinduro, the thing wasn't quite running right on Saturday Morning so we changed the carby from a bored out 36 Mikuni to a 38 Mikuni off Ribbo's 400 Husky and it turned the 440 into a absolute weapon. Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
