Hi everyone, havn't been online for a while....

Yeah the permatex stuff didnt work. I think it reacted with the copper cos it went all bubbly.

Thanks for the offer Scotty. I see you are in Melbourne. I am up in Byron Bay but I am based in Melbourne and should be back end of the year. We should catch up when I get back down mate! I rode these bikes for 6 years all over the city.

In the meantime, the bearing on bucking bar on the piston broke and sent little roller steel rods through the engine one of which was sucked into the combustion chamber and ruined it!

New engine on order plus I have met a bloke who can weld me up a header pipe for the expansion chamber.

Pictures posted soon
