    One of these Adrian, the manifold is slightly more compact.

    Quick update before bed! Been surviving on 5.5 hrs sleep a night at the moment with late finishes and early morning 'alarm' calls.....

    My son had a lovely birthday today, so went out and finished a few things when he was tucked up in bed

    Finished building the shocks, which went together very easily. Quite a bit different in detail to the 808 shocks but still familiar.

    Only things left to do are to finish mounting the brake rods and do the throttle linkage. Run the fuel tube. Stick it on the setup board and get it all pointing the right way!!

    Hopefully get a chance to fire it up on Sunday or Monday depending on house guests this weekend.

    Did you have to grind anything off the engine mounts Adrian?

    Had to take a couple of mm off my alpha to be on the safe side.

    Hiya

    No not needed to with the OS and this mount - but I've got mine angled over a fair bit I think. Are you running the 1 piece mount as well? May make a small difference to mounting height etc?

    There's not much space around the mount with the side guards tucked in there!!
