i should probably update this more. 

Junked the xl100 motor as i couldn't be bothered with stators etc anymore and bought a 1992 xr100 motor, got it bored out to 54mm and chucked a fresh top end in it for DGR bike was running super rad at DGR until the last 10mins it wouldn't rev above 5k rpm and was making a hell of a top end noise, got home and pushed it into the corner in the shed and gave up for a bit.

ive got to make a new intake manifold for the xr200 carb and i have a nice stainless steel muffler i need to make the rest of the exhaust for and some new foot pegs wouldn't go a miss. 

still plenty to do before eastcape, seat should come back from upholstery tomorrow so will be good to see the bike looking mostly complete and tidy

I bought a purpose built moto stainless muffler, started making up a stainless exhaust, just waiting on couple of bits to be finished at the machine shop.

my seat arrived back from the upholsters, looks okay might get it recovered and change my design a little bit after east cape.

Looks great! How fast does it go with the wee XL hundy?

its an xr100r motor, seems to get along pretty well, max speed is about 110-115kph i think? such a good combo, the tune isn't perfect but hopefully can iron it out
