That's a good idea rather than cutting the whole thing down. Nice window in that block

What a weapon! One of the best if not the best projects on this forum at the moment. Gotta love NZ's liberal but safe modification rules.

Well she's a runner just couldn't resist cranking it up in the hole some how I don't think the exhaust will pass the cert.

Got a bit of a party next weekend so this should go down a treat

How is your headroom with the floor that much higher? Hard to gauge how you would go with a helmet but must be tight?

Ah I see, with me being over 6ft 2" it had me thinking it would be tight.

 

Should be a very quick ride. You have done well with this build as its certainly a big job.
