Nah he's talking bollocks.....everyone who knows anything about HRC knows they only ever used cocktail sticks on the factory bikes. The lady at a catering company told me and she should know.........
I'd straighten out that kink in the hose feeding the top of the radiator before you start it up though.
Yeahhhhh I can see the pics I'm tempted now I had a 1275GT mini and bought a model years ago though it didn't have an engine Do you have to build from scratch If so thats a perfect way for me to learn

It's all looking very pro. What with the polystyrene and all. In fact, it doesn't look any easier than putting together a real bike.
its about as reliable...the speedo and a fairing screw fell off the Duke when i was moving it around...amazing how the Japs capture every detail so fastidiously. (916 pics on the Doohan build thread)
