Interesting 'sva padding' on the bones

Coming on nicely Alex - very neat.

you wont be saying that when it has the supercharger in there, im also going to put R1 bike carbs on it (planning the mega squirt aswell,).

it might not be as light or fast as the crotch rocket your sticking in your but it will have plenty of bite

the tunnel will be carpeted with a BRG vinyl top. as will the rest of the cock pit be carpeted.

doesn't look like my MK supplied manifold, but I guess they may have changed it since I got mine. Pipes look to be better arranged than mine and not made of so many sections.

how long ago did you by your mk exhaust manifold, mine was made to order by martin at mk for a bloke who then changed his mind, so i picked up a bit of a bargain. i know that mk did change their exhaust design not long ago tho....(to be corrected tho)
