Now as you all may have noticed I have its been a fair while since I last updated the build blog. There is a good reason for this, I have started a new job and due to this time and money has been hard to come by but thanks to a very very nice man (you know who you are) the build is now back on track and should be done and ready to race at Oulton park on the 15/16Th of August.
You all remember the dilemma over wheels, don't you?well the original plan was to use CB500 wheels but after much ridicule and general weight orientated questions I decided that it would be a better idea to go for a light weight wheel, and due to the nature of the build (all Honda please) these would ideally be Honda rs125 wheels, Now I had many opportunities to get wheels but believe it or not you cant get two sets complete for less than £1k so after allot of head scratching and trying to sell everything I own I still had no where near enough money to buy them. But all looked lost for the build until a top bloke I know offered me two pairs buck shee! that's free that is. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth and all that hey.
So now the wheels are away at a local race engineer being made to feel at home in my CRF chassis and I will put photos on when they are home again.
In the mean time please look at the piccies of my fairings that I am now blinging up by giving them a damn good lacquering and revamp, please not that the seat unit will be black and red in the end. well that's all for now folks. Fingers crossed please people!
