Looking very tidy Rod. Love the colour. How did you form the lip around the air filter cover?

Thanks Andy. The two plates are 6 mm aly rough cut with a jigsaw. I drilled a hole in the centre for a 10mm bolt . Bolted them together then spun them in the lathe to make a 'pair' . Then I ran a groove about 4 mm deep very close to the edge in each one . I used the mesh from an old pancake filter and cut it down so that it exactly fits in width between the 2 plates, in the grooves. The plates are spaced apart with a top hat section held onto the 'base' plate by the bolts that hold the base to the carb.Didnt think the mesh was fine enough,so used a piece of very fine mesh (the stuff you can buy at builders merchants that they use in roof soffitt vents to keep out bugs etc) to back the larger mesh.

Hi SB. I extended upward the axle clamp (the half that is attached to the frame) You can see it in the second guard pic.

I didnt want the complete wraparound look,hence why I chopped up mine.I used one trailer guard to make both of mine.As you can see,the rear of mine stop exposing the tyre when looking straight down from the top. I realised this at the outset,and decided to make up some stainless 'mudflaps' mounted on brackets protruding from the rear of the guards following the wheel closely, to stop a wall of water off each tyre!
UPDATE on my test application..I phoned them back with the numbers they wanted ..5500 rpm,and they are going to contact me with a firm date tamara.I cant have my preffered (sp?) date so I may have to move one of my days holiday from work to accomodate .Looks like being December 21st.I didnt realise it was a 3 hour test! Ive also got to take a crash helmet. Looks like I'll have to buy one sooner than I thought!

To be honest they told me 3 hours as well it was nearer to an hour and a half. I think they just allow for that long No idea what the crash helmet is for though  well not for the test anyway as for the figures you were after i just robbed it out the haynes manual |
