Dude where did you get the sticker on the fanshroud of the young Ahem lady bending rite over ??? :roll: :wink:

Just took a picture of my missus and put it in photoshop. :wink:
 
or get a pic of his missus :wink: or take a trip to monkeyspinners online shop....
roadhouseretro.com the sticker section there is quite well populated
 
Had a load of problems with it this week, mainly due to crap bolt up rocker covers, been through two pairs and both have come loose at high revs, one dumping half my oil over the road. (Expensive when the engine holds 6 litres!).

Am now waiting on some clip on rocker covers, and a heavy duty accelerator cable after the other one snapped!

CB update kits should be here in a few days soon. When they arrive I'm gonna strip and rebuild the carbs and matchport the manifolds, as I didn't have time to do that when I was building the engine up.
Should free up a bit more power.

Also going to change the fuel pump back to a mechanical one as the Facet one I'm running is dumping too much fuel, and the pressure regulator doesn't seem to be doing a very good job.

Hopefully all in time for the Volksworld show...

Sticker came from ebay.

Update!

I floored the hell out of it yesterday, and scared myself rotten! :lol:
 
was going to buy some bolt on rockers covers as i'm sick of the leaky clip on ones! Hmmmmmmmm.

Anyone else had probs with the bolt on type?
