    Yeah I've seen a couple of them. Quite often they have air starters now instead of the 2t ones

    A new project begins.
    It's a WPL RC kit thing. My son is helping me. I don't know many 2 year old kids who can do "tighty righty" and know what a rear differential is..
    Little mensa member I think.

    Replacement guide bushes turned up for the goldwing forks yesterday afternoon, can crack on and get them finished today. Already re-painted the fork lowers, nice and fresh again:)
    Might get back on to the Yamaha project later, that is if I don't decide to go play golf or snooker this afternoon instead:rolleyes:

    Getting closer to having this done.
    I'm taking it to the UK in 4 weeks.
    Tomorrow I'm torn, do I spend some hours building a sissy bar or do I go and see if I can get life into the kawa 1300?
