I think I'd forgotten just how far up the scale he was ... but I'm thrilled to see him. Insane machines - the charger looks AMAZING.

Yep still here!
The Belve is broken again- I killed the gearbox
I bought a new toy to replace the Truk- see db's A108 thread.
I've not been on here much lately, family and other things have been keeping me busy.
Looking forward to a catch-up dude

And you shall !
To be honest I think it might be a little out of hand.
I have been struggling for weeks with the loom and she just won’t fire up.
The plan is once it’s fired up get some tarmac time and see how she feels at speed. Rolled down a hill got to 30mph and feels really stable.
This is the second chassis Mk1 didn’t work lol

I know it's a different beast altogether and I don't know what wiring you have but if you've kept any of the Busa loom it could be something that daft.
My 900 Daytona has its sidestand cutout unbolted and cable tied to the frame otherwise it just conks.
Also gotta pull the clutch lever in whether it's in gear or not to start it.

Yes believe this is Angus on the Mk1 jade warrior.
The rear end was then changed to single back wheel
