131 forum posts 8 photos	Beautiful machining - I have to hand it to people who can make 12 of something and have them all look the same. And the video is something to which we all should aspire. It is worth watching over again just to see how he did it. So it runs on air? Who cares; it is a lovely job and I got pleasure from the posting so thank you John and thanks to the blokes on the motorcycling site who recommended it. My bikes are only twins: Bonneville and Honda CB350. Do I need a four? Jim
