Yep... with just a whisker or two to spare..
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

Since M8 Nutsert is a bit deeper than the M6 so I decided to try it as I had a Subframe that had a hole in it that was to big to repair with a M6.





Yep... It works  8-)

Since I'm doing a freshen up on this bike I may as well turn this thread into a build...  :roll:

Is this bike for anyone we know (if you don’t mind me asking)?
Perhaps I have a dirt bike addiction?

Nothing special... Pipe, reed, Enzo Suspension, Powder coating, some new plastics.
I think we will end up with some nice grapics...
We'll see...
