Welcome to AMS!

Thanks guys, sorry I didn’t reply earlier, to be honest I dove right into this great forum and had a good look at what everyone is doing. WOW. At the moment my new garage is full and no room to work due to house renovations and it’s frustrating as I want to get stuck into shaping metal. Don’t care what it is I just want to do a bit, just love the idea of taking a flat sheet of metal and MAKING something.
Cords I’m in Belfield at the moment which is near Campsie.
Hmm some pics of my project, to be honest it has some heating issues as I haven’t insulated the exhaust manifolds, so this is heating the fuel lines and causing the fuel pump to overheat. It is driveable though and it goes pretty good. The paint is a bit rough as it’s really not finished yet. But it is street legal.
This is my favourite custom bike by the way; I want to build a custom bike one day.
