My baby goes for RWC on Thursday so I think thats about it apart from polishing the swinger. Maybe santa will bring me a turbo this year ?

Thought I would put this up just in case someone wanted to nominate this first effort for best shed build at AFR ?!?!?!

Don't polish the swinger, paint it black. But match the wheels, either both black or both polished. Just my two cents.

Might polish a stripe down the swinger then paint Black.

Rear wheel left alone as tribute to Ron "BALLS" Soloman. He did the engine work and put the stickers on the rear wheel. Small thing for a good man. I'm sure you understand.

I wasn't a fan of your choice of tail, but you have made it look like it is meant to be there.

Fantastic job, mate.

Ron was a legend Paul always a smile and a tale to tell. Shit hot with tuning too.

CC Cheers mate. I had reservations too but I think it has a nice line across the top and does look like it's moving when stood still.

I'm waiting for Banditrod to buy a +7 swinga when he turbos Predator then I can buy his polished and braced jobbie. Unless he won the sssa he was bidding on then things could get complicated.
Wouldn't mind a sssa on mine thinking about it.:D

Very nice. Never seen front rotors like that - how do they perform?

A bit hard to gauge right now. I swapped rotors and calipers from Nissin 4 pots to tockiko 6 pots so it pulls up very well but don't know if that's the discs or calipers. Not a lot of heat build up. Time will tell on pad wear though.

Bwahahahahahaha, fancy going for a drink after work JackTar

Looks good matey, got to go with the braced and polished jobby. I took a photo of a Bandit down at southend last year with an under seat zorst, I'll dig it out and post it on here. The guy used the same rear end as you and the whole thing looked cool as fuck.

Took your time rising to that comment Magilla. Jacktar must be losing his touch.

Cheers Jon, that'd be good. Was thinking twin hi level stubbies from Just bandits if Santa dont bring me a turbo this year. Watching Banditrods build too to see how he goes before commiting. If I go the turbo route I might have to fork out for an extended swinga too.

Fuck that's nice. Not sure about the length of the silencer. How did the wheel clearence look ? Looks tight to the swinga too. That has had soom time under the buffing wheel too ! Not my cuppa tea but thanks for the effort Jon, appreciate it.
