"Blimey Charlie!" Great to see some proper engineering going on, instead of my usual bodges and lash ups  :-\
Would love to get a proper look at the bike in the flesh sometime.
Namaste

Hi, I ran out of time and money this year its a huge job, I got the supercharger fitted and worked out how to drive it, made various brackets and an outrigger bearing fitted in an xr alternator case. I want to get the crank extension made this summer and the 3 pulleys that I need. I then have to make a new flywheel and find a small external alternator. next winter it will be simply a case of bolting on the crankshaft extension fitting the flywheel fitting the pulleys and lowering the compression and changing the cam

Ah...so still a way to go but sounds like you've got all the bases pretty much covered, get out and enjoy a ride in the sun while it's here I say. Best o luck with the rest of the build during the autumn/winter months and defo keep us all posted...cheers...Michael

Will you be coming up to the Thumper Club Annual rally at Llanfairfechan so we can all have a look see?
If I'm not working I'll be away on my bike camping!
