I rode my Special today for the first time in over a year!

I finally got it going!
After cracking my frame last year, I rebuilt and repainted my Series 3 this year... It was also my first attempt at painting with anything but a spray can!
It wasnt very nice to ride as both tyres were flat, but it was still fun!
Anyway, here are the pics...
my first attempt at painting
LI125 case after some welding and machining
This afternoon!
Just in case anyone forgot... this was why it was taken off the road
Specs of the engine are:
Ts1 tuned by John Balcomb with Super Monza piston, extra big ports and an extra boost port. 61mm crank with 115 Yamaha rod, TMX carb, PM28 pipe, Original AF flywheel with BGM stator.
All this is built on an Li125 case which I had welded, machined and bored at a local engineers here in New Zealand.
The paint isnt too mint, its a bit orange peely in places, but it was cheap! and I learnt heaps along the way
Now I gotta dial in the carb, adjust the exhaust length for the 200 degrees of exhaust timing and dyno it!
