I've no idea what they are, I bought them damaged for next to nothing and chopped out the bad bit, and just so happened to look pretty well! They sound awesome, really deep rumble.

Looking good

The bike looks great. Glad more people are building bikes on a low budget and getting great looking results..... Well done.

Ps happy to pass on paint details. I am more than happy with my metal flake paint job. I can also get decals cut to order to.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but is it really a good idea to take the cam belt covers off?

Just flicking through some previous threads and came across this one.

I've been riding around for about 3 years with no covers on with no problems whatsoever.
And I'm with you Pancho. I like the mechanical look too.

That's lovely, and very inspiring as I start tidying up my low budget 600.

Cool

Nice transformation!

Gamsa,

Bareing the belts is the way ahead, how else can you see if they are about to snap!!!!

I run the belts open myself and never had a prob, although I left the part that cover the front cylinder pulley in place, to avoid picking up any stone from the front wheel.
