It was on EBay but I am off the idea now.

I like what Backtracker does with them.

It's for that reason that it's going to be a very slow project.

I can only work on it when she's out! :S

Quick Update.

Cleaned out the choke port with Carb cleaner and an airline.
It now starts on the key! :)
Next step, reassembley and an MOT.

Backtracker has posted the link to those headlights he uses;

BajaDesigns

I like the Dual but it may look too much...

Gives you a WHOLE second wind when they run at will - Starting to get jealous now!

Got to be the Rothman's paint job! And don't worry about promotin' smokin'!

The Rothmans paint job suits Africa Twins, I just don't know whether a Dommie could carry it.

I plan to get some miles under it and drop it a few times before I strip and paint it!

sounds like a wise decision Morph
no point doing a really nice paint job if you are planning on chucking it at trees etc :)

Latest update.

I have just taken the Dommie for its first MOT (with me), it failed. :(

The good news is that it's just the brakes :)

A quick strip and clean and I should be good to go.

Cheers
