picking up from the other place, the xs650 is still creeping forward...

Original thread here for anyone wanting the history
https://www.therevcounter.co.uk/threads ... oP-project

Progress has been in fits and starts, not a huge amount on the main frame for a number of reasons, but I have made some progress on the valve covers, castings have improved a lot, and I've made some tooling to make the machining easier. I'll post some pics when I work out what the file limits are/ if I need to get a sub in etc. currently I'm getting a file too large error

Rarely do we do attachment stuff, most pics are hosted off site using Flickr, imagur, etc I could increase the attachment size allowed, but that's going to slow the site down longer term.

I'm out of practice, but just opened a flikr account, I'll get sorted soon enough :)
