You've done a really nice job on that. Looks very 'factory'.

If it's never going to see a field etc, why did you buy a dirt bike?

I still check my White Dalton prize draw numbers weekly from when I got a card from them ages ago at the Kop Hill climb, the prize is a Caballero 500. Sadly the bastards never pull my numbers!

Hydraulic clutch now fully tested on my Fantic and it works a treat and since it's the same engine as the Kove 450 Rally maybe it'll be of interest to some of you!. I'll put some info together and share soon.
