New member from Scotland
« 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.

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
