To do list!!

Fit some decent bucket seats

Build a new dash panel, probably aluminium


It's apparently chucking out 130bhp - whether I believe that or not :/

I'd like to know what your estimates to the power output would be?

Cheers, lemme know what you think.

Always had a soft spot for the Sylva Leader.

Cheers, John

Hehe, cheers John. It has definitely grown a lot on me - i bloody love it!

I've got a little video of it too; shall be replacing that cherrybomb for a quieter bike can - as much as I like the cherry bomb i think it may be a bit too loud for trackdays - will keep it and maybe fit it as a side exit if i get bored of the bike can.
