What a cool colour! That looks wicked :D

133bhp isn't bad going on twin 40s - has it had any head work? What cam is it using?

Not much progress due to being unable to work on anything at the time being.

But added a couple of small items to the list.

New bonnet hing/stay as it doesnt have one on at the moment and new pedal rubbers to replace the stupid metal ones on there at the moment.
