Mike,

The balancer is just for weight saving, this with the alloy flywheel
means I have about 6.5kg less to to get moving. The flywheel is from CAPA and costs about $1000.00. They have them in stock.

Yes I am going with electric water pump. That saved about 4 kg plus should work better than original also allows gradual warm up and prevents shock from cold radiator water hitting hot cylinder walls.

I am getting an alloy fuel tank made locally it has built in surge tank and tank is divided into four cells fitted with non return valves so that no matter how long you hold a line through a corner fuel will be avalable.

Sloth reckons his Cobra is scary quick. If a motor bike rider thinks that then Iam impressed.

Drilled holes for roll bar last night. You will be surprised how thick the glass is at this point.

Regards,

Phil
