I can't say it isn't, but it's very well made for a home built job if it is. I cannot find a 3-1 that has a detachable expansion chamber - likes of Pipers and Straders didn't have.

The first batch of water-jet cut cylinder fins arrived today - 12 "barrel" fins (2 sets of 6 - left and right) and the base "cylinder head" fin.

Replicating the X75 Hurricane rear end - I took a punt on a used T150 Trident rear mudguard on ebay and got it for £40 - result!

However, although all the guard to frame mounting holes were all in the right place, the mounting holes for the rear light support bracket and number plate brackets weren't.

So I re-drilled them in the right places and it's turned out just right. Just a few surplus holes to fill in now and then the rear guard and the rear light support bracket can be sent away for chroming.

Note also the new replica shock absorber top mounting bolts - thanks to my mate Howard the Lathe for those :D

Have you got the RH HPI ignition unit and CDI.

I've got a few bits knocking around here if you need anything.

What bits do you have?
