Cheers guys,

A whole 175cc 10bhp two stroke beast!!

unfortunately it means the z500 cafe project has taken the back seat for a while, but once i've got it running and sold my old CG i'll have the time and the funds to tune the Z500, redo the brakes and get really stuck in!!

if she was at home not only would it not be in the house, it would never have been bought and the kitchen would have been finished!!

its now in the garage, the smell of two stroke in the house was a bit much!!!:whistle:
