the rear end I had to spend some time getting right, put in bronze bushs, , drill some brackets for chain guard, 2 inch lower shocks, new spacers for the sprocket and repositioned the wheel with spacers as part of a wheel alignment, set the shocks stiiff.

Hey Johno, ya might want to check ya chain guard. Might be OK all the way forward.

The chain/belt shall be guarded from the center of the front sprocket to the rear most edge of the rear
sprocket measured vertically.

Hi Jonno
Is old yella running yet & will she be on fuel or petrol ?? MF or MG ??

Don't forget if you are running fuel you need covered fuel lines & fuel shut-off that can be operated without taking your hands off the bars...

Go MG with the Water Bottle.... 8)

Hi Johno!
It is this type of dedication that makes land speed racers a unique breed. Try to find that .001 of a second over possibly five miles and you get these late nights and (hopefully) understanding spouses. Thank God for our families. Keep up the work on the bumblebee and let her scream on the salt. Remember sleep is over rated. You can sleep when you die.

Have to agree on that rule about a fuel shut off. If you turn ours off it will run for another minute with the big bowl. And the fuel line cover is a pain in the ass on a small bike. Actually makes it harder to make the fuel lines secure. Anyways it is what it is, see you on the salt.

At WOT it won't take long to empty the bowl
