Red Marley to-do list






Trimmed the throttle bar down



Fuel tap







New bars.  The previous ones I had made were too narrow for serious off-roading.  Or my shoulders are too weak?  Plus they already snapped once and I was getting a bit nervous about the jump at the top of Red Marley.  These ones will work much better.




New pegs.  The Anderson's had a great cruising position but I couldn't put enough weight down on the back wheel so I moved it all back.  The WR pegs are a bit wider as well.  Spent all afternoon fine tuning the riding position and now it fits like an ex-girlfriend.


Vee must increese efficienzy to 110%


Learning to weld


Parcel from Jeff @ Riverside, clutch & brake pedal assemblies with a couple of Aussie rags thrown in (thanks Jeff).  The vast majority of 45 chops and WR racers disposed of the straps and front rod building a pedal setup around the rear support rod but I'm going to use stock controls for now, see if they don't look too stupid without the foot-boards.


Tony helped re-build the gearbox (again).


Putting the engine in!
