Evening smile

Got this bike late last year, But over winter spoken to Ilmberger to procure a deal on their twill panels. This is the (almost) final result, need to fit Watsen flush indicators, rear spindle hub, paint protection, and trying to think over a 50:50 vinyl overlay design.

Things didn't go as well as I'd hoped during the build, managed to sort the exterior and then cylinder 4 decided to get in contact with 2 valves causing a huge mess (Just my luck, paid £200 for a service 100 miles ago) So sourced a new engine and currently in the shop having it fitted.

Bike might not be to everybody's taste I know.

Definitely, after taking the pyramid crap off my bike ilmberger makes sense but at £200 for a hugger seems less urgent when it could be spent on fuel.

I like that a lot.

Any idea what caused the pistons to hit the valves on your old engine?

No idea how differently it rides as it blew up not long after those photos lol, Ilmberger are very cheap if you contact them personally, or look for an ebay seller called BS-MotorpartsUK

Try to avoid videoing yourself and posting it youtube this time, that way you'll enjoy the bike for a bit longer.
