Great job Andy ! i was wondering when you were going to let us get a peak of your xs

[@nightster6378]

Hi Andy I have worked for the NHS in Northern Ireland now for 2 years being a magpie I have taken home 3 of these tables with permission as they were condemned for myself and friends, 2 needed hydraulic ram seals but the other the best one and lifts 210kg's to a height if 3ft was a disgrace as it was condemned because of a rip in the upholstery therefore cross contamination could take place. God only knows what this would have cost to replace. Im making my way through these vids and find them interesting, some I want to comment on but reckon you have better things to do as these vids are History.

[@ANDY5]

Nightster please feel free to comment mate. I generally read all comments, I may not always take the time to reply, but they can often be beneficial to other people viewing them.

Hi Andy. Great job again. I have the exact same speedo an there is 2 magnets. One screwable and a sticky one. I saw that you used the one with thread so, did you actually drilled and taped you rotor? Thanks

[@ANDY5]

G'day Francis, yes I drilled the rotor. They are very tough st/st so you will want a good drill and tap. Also the sensor needs to be positioned end on to the magnet, I changed it sometime later and ultimately changed the speedo. Cheers, Andy

[@tonypeters9548]

what brand is the muffler Andy? Great looking bike by the way!

[@ANDY5]

Hi Tony, thanks for the feedback. Muffler is a M4? I contacted a motorcycle exhaust specialist expecting to have a custom one made and they had this on the shelf. My brief was for a short reverse megaphone with removable baffle to fit a 2" pipe.
