Haven't really done much lately as I've been having fun on the BMX again.
Bought myself a few odds n ends off someone I know last week to bling it up a little.

Red Baron Tank Cap
Red Baron Chain Guide
Hardstyle 33T "Spade" Sprocket
Fast50's +1 Gear Lever

Also got impatient waiting for a nice Honda engine to pop up so I ended up saying fuck it and buying a cheap semi-auto 4 speed YX88 for the time being.

Fitted a new rear axle, got some custom chain tensioner bolts made up and fitted, fitted new shock bolts, trimmed my swingarm bolt, straightened my subframe and a few other little bits. Just got to space my rear wheel correctly(It's slightly out so the sprocket doesn't line up) and fit the sprocket then it's ready for the lump.

Wish my mates had a few odds and ends as good as that lying about!

If you know where to look you can find a lot of nice stuff for the same money copy stuff will run you.

So this morning I was awakened by some loud knocking on the door, checked my phone, 9.30AM. Quickly got dressed and sprinted down stairs and was greeted by the Parcel Force lass, had to go grab a box out of the van myself cause it was too heavy haha! Anyway, got it indoors all happy and smiling knowing what it was...

Left it in the room whilst I went and got my breakfast as I didn't want to start work too early cause the neighbors live on the back of my workshop so didn't want to be too noisy.

Couple hours later and the (almost) finished product..

Just need a decent peg bar, decent pegs, decent brake pedal and tidy my wiring up a little bit. Oh, and fit my sprocket and chain. Didn't want to be too tempted to take it down the road as it's been a while since I had a blast on a proper minibike!

Chain and sprocket fitted a few days ago. Got bored this morning, got up out of bed and decided to paint my frame black as the white was looking like shit. Got that finished up, got bored, decided to paint clutch and ignition cover red. Doesn't look too bad really. Started going through all my spare fuel hoses and such, couldn't find my old yellow stuff so ordered some for the tank>carb, carb>overflow and tank cap>breather. Cut up the old red shit to make myself a crankcase breather pipe as well.

Got pissed off wit the number board being all over the place too because BBR SP-5's have no proper number board mount, so I robbed a brake cable guide off my mates chinker and bunged some self tappers in my number board hahaha, doesn't look shit now. #sinisterreppin

Probably done some more shit too but I can't remember atm.

Finally sorted out some decent fuel pipe rather than scraps off old bikes floating round the shed. Also decided to buy a red CNC stem nut to bling the front end up a little whilst I consider spraying my yokes black. Red Baron dress up kit turned up in the mail today so quickly chucked that on too, amazing what a few little bits can do for the look of a bike!

So a couple days ago I bought a Kitaco IRK. I've heard mixed reviews for years but decided that there's only one way to find out MY opinion of them... So I fitted it, wired it all in, fired her up... Revs like mad, sounds amazing.

Gave it a little rip around the garden a few times and the responsiveness is second to none, revs like mad and although people claim they take all the "thump" out, the bottom end is amazing!

Just ordered a Billetware HD peg bar, now on the hunt for some tidy pegs and a 2 bros brake pedal!
