[QUOTE="Howard, post: 12824, member: 271"] Bill I never like using metering wires if I can help it, there never seems enough oil to all those rattly things lower down. Oil could be a factor, it hasn't got up to temperature yet, and 20/50 could be a bit thin when cool. I haven't done more than a 4 mile run on it yet, lots of adjustments needed, I need to take it for MoT, and work/family take up too much spare time. I'll send a photo from home later. It's not as you remember it - I decided to build it like a 70s Shadow colour scheme this time, done metalic silver, green and purple tank and nickel and red frame so I've been a bit more conservative.
