Heres pics of the engine setup il be using for this build, a yx160, i have done a bit of a refurb on this with new top end gaskets, piston rings and clutch cover gasket, fresh ngk etc, the engine has covered 1000 miles since ive had it and still going strong, the engine has also been shot blasted by gaz56 on here so looks new, i must say he does a top job! highly reccomended, and i have laquered it so it doesnt go minging again:
Got the talon sprocket and neutral light sensor installed, and the wires all heatshinked together etc etc
So there we go! sorry its not much but il get pics when parts arrive
I also have a load of other smaller parts here ready for the build but not gonna bother taking 1000 pics, WATCH THIS SPACE
