Hi Guys
Couple more pictures of the bike. Before and after Supercharging. Apologies for quality of Supercharged shot it was taken off an old cine film (35mm then scanned, hardly best way to keep detail) but it's all I've got. Ian

Yeah, even after enhancing it's still kinda vague. Good job on the tank and seat, though! I've got a 350 that I've done up the seat on, but I like the original tank too much to change it. Sometimes "form" takes control. I went with clubmans instead of clipons on shear looks, and had to have it clean to boot. Ever try to snake a wire harness on clubmans? After 2 frustrating days, I had to invent my own special tool!

Does your film show any footage of the beast in action?

Hi Piecutter
What an interesting thought, to be honest cant remember....I know I have cine of the bike without blower. I shall get the old film out and have a look. Guess I'll have to find out how to convert cine to digital then.... (Worth doing before it deteriates too bad anway) . Can this forum support files in Windows Movie Player ? Ian

Unless you want to do alot of conversions, it's more cost effective to have someone transfer it to DVD professionally. The equipment's not prohibitively expensive, assuming you already have a camcorder and a video card or TV card with video inputs, but , as I said, how much would you really use it?
I don't see why the forum shouldn't be able to post a simple AVI file, just about everyone should be able to play it with WMP or Quicktime.
