Hello Trevor

Very nice, love the colour scheme. So with the success of painting the yak parts, are you going to paint to the Vertigo.

Cheers Don

Thx guys!! No.. the Vertigo is too complicated for me... lots of airbrushing/fading from blue to black so i'll leave it to the expert! Hopefully we'll see the Vertigo progressing in paint in another 1.5 weeks

Great job, what are you using for a spray gun?

Last year I bought a really nice gun... have done quite a bit of practicing with it and getting better each time. The gun is light years ahead of my skill, so I just need to keep practicing!!

One of the last things on this was to fab up some exhaust extensions.

I used 22mm MTW straight pipe with a slit and hose clamps.. the 22mm fits perfectly over the Moki exhaust nipple. I then Silver Soldered on 25mm MTW flex and got them to exit where I wanted. I tied both together with some SS strapping and also soldered the flex coils so they cannot change shape.

I'm just in the process of making a hangar to attach to the motorbox. Once done, I will paint with high heat BBQ paint.

Unlike 2 strokes, running some extensions will not hurt performance with a 4 stroke.

Nice work Trevor. I highly recommend the Flat Black BBQ rattle can paint.

Spring here in the hills. The Donkey's are out. Chances are this year they may be fully Matured Ass'.

Just curious which gun you are using?
