Title: New member from Scotland
Post by: strathbranspeedshop on August 18, 2015, 07:02:49 AM

Hi, just arrived, although I have been hovering around the doorway for a week or so.. very informative site  :bmwsmile

I am modifying an old '89 LT into GS spec.. its not a scrambler or a café racer as these two definitions are reserved for pre 1970 singles and twins in my opinion ... i'll post in the project section  :2thumbup:

open pipes? Some other guys were wondering about how that sounded.

What is your opinion of the newest incarnation of the Doctor, since you're a Scot.

Tennant is out, a while ago. Capaldi is in, hence the Scotsman part.

Can't wait to see how it looks with your new collector and mega.

Capaldi is a good actor, better than Tennant.. ;)

Got let down by the mate who was going to make a megaphone for the K so i bought a short race can on ebay and fitted it today, angle of dangle is good and the pipe ends right in line with the centre of the hub :)
Finished welding the rear seat mounts and repaired the broken battery tray....... All ready for a final wiring fest tomorrow
