It's better but I have some new polishing compounds to try so I think it will even be better when I'm done..

Actually I am still working on this bike :shock:
I'm making a 2 piece clutch cover for it.
So I'll update the thread when I get the cover done and start building the engine.

Update:
The crank is done and on it's way back.
The cylinder should be done and should be back soon as well.
Hopefully I can start building the bottom end within the week..

Received the crank back from Pinsonnault Racing.
Impressive does not do them justice.
