Hope you weren't holding your breath?

Despite getting my flowed heads back some months ago, things did stall due to a couple of building projects - one of which was a workshop refurb which is now all done, so now I have no excuse.

The idea of getting it done for this year has now gone but I'm now aiming for a an over-winter project to be on the road in the spring.

To this end I actually made a new start yesterday with a minor alteration to the frame due to the float chamber of the vertical cylinder carb touching one of the cross-braces, which I know from experience (with a KTM) can only end badly when the bottom of the carb splits and fuel pours over the engine.

A few pics,

Cross brace moved slightly further forward;





Still deciding whether to move the battery support cross member back by a few mm as the horizontal intake stack is very close and I'd be happier with more clearance plus it would be easier to fit an air filter;



At least now I have a better working space, previously was cold, dark, damp & dusty.



More updates (hopefully) soon.
