Yeah, sorry for the radio silence, I've been meaning to post up some progress but have just been a tad busy. Yup, Douglas is complete, now currently going through the registration process (which is turning into a bit of a marathon - only one engineer in the state who can certify it and they live 4 hours away, so he only comes down every couple of months) before I can get it on the road. I've got a dodgy first start up vid, but I want to do a proper "stand back and admire" final shoot once everything is fully squared away, then I'll post up the pics!
But upshot is he started 2nd kick and runs pretty well. Had some hiccups with 2 cracked carbs, and I had to pull the motor out again after a few heat cycles to re-torque the head bolts, so there's been lots of tweaking and tinkering but nothing very pretty to look at. I've still got some carb tuning to do once it's on the road, but in general, so far, so good...
Pics to come...
