| No I still have the Taipan body sitting outside, I wanted a Manx body and bought a brand new one. Hows your build going? |

Nearly done I'm hoping to have it finished in the next month or so. That body you got looks like one of Moose's, same color scheme as the one he was building. Mine is the reverse color scheme of yours now  |

| Yes surfsup, its the same as Mooses body....and no Jim, thats the colour of the gel coat, Im going to have it redone in a light pearl green colour on top and a contrasting colour underneath and the tail light housings will be chromed. I think with the chrome roll bar will look good. |

I like the new motor.
Pearl green will look nice with those wheels.
Have you got your windscreen and seats yet? |

| A lot of seats are too wide for a Manx. Make sure you measure them up first. |

| Scooterperth, I have used the Cobra Monaco Pro's. Fit is great, not too wide and plenty of leg room, with their tracks I cant push them all the way back and I am 178cm tall (about 5.10 for the US guys), the only down side is the cost, Revolution Race Gear carry them in Perth but you may be able to pick them up cheaper direct from the UK. |

Hey, my old Deserter GS was shipped to you neighborhood late last year, somewhere in Perth anyway? Say hi if you ever see a yellow buggy with a mid engine Corvair in it.
