Small update ( some posts have disappeared :( )

We fixed the clutch and did some small stuff, like changing the seat to real leather and adding and removing some sleeving. Also did some small airbrushing. Still contemplating if i want to do a pin stripe.

Pending are fixing the high temp the coolant is currently running (85degrees), installed a temp fan to see if that helps, if not we will drill some vent holes. The local expert guy said for the head we did not need fans or drilling, guess he was wrong. Well repainting is not a huge deal here.

Small changes to do is changing the oil cups and putting in the orange cooling liquid. And making the side panels fit nicer. After that its cleaning and do a photo shoot.

It has now got 100k's on it and the initial troubles are sorted out. And they sent my TV175 to the paint shop/powdercoaters ;)

to be honest m8, a few holes wont do it i don't think.
you'll have to have some sort of air flow to the rads, not just a little brise coming from behind.

Actually we just installed one fan and the temp dropped by 30degrees, wow... its now between 40-50

We are likely still going to do the holes with mesh as it would fit the bike, and if nec keep the fan.
