Hiya mate,

Currently got a hybrid Ethos half system, it has the main pipes from a half system, but the final Y pipe and can from a full system (standard half systems have this as all one piece

Cheers, hopefully get a vid of it running as soon as I evict the carbs from my living room sofa! Also need to order a few niggly bits and pieces to get it tip top again, such as carb rubbers and an airbox baseplate (surprisingly available an in stock as a genuine Honda item!

Also have decided to order the Silhouette upper cowl, will likely be selling the OEM West coloured panels

Panels on last 2 Samco hoses fitted (the one on the back of the thermostat housing and the semi circular one on the back of the water pump)

Cool

Had an NC24 some years ago and just loved it!

[Billing]

Gotta love gear driven cams!

I managed to sort out the fuel tap, robbed the pipe off my other engine, works good as gold now

Had it running up to temperature, albeit with the airbox lid and filter off as I didn't want to be faffing if I had to take it all apart again, so it was a bit off after 7-8k, but I expected that.

Finally rode it yesterday!!! It goes ok, but the fuelling is dogsh!t will rip the carbs apart after I get it MOT'd tomorrow morning.

I have bad news though, I lost the pillion seat on the test ride :'( means I need to hurry up and order the full carbon bodyset from Tyga.

One of the prettiest bikes ever made IMO. Definitely one for the dream garage.

[stevo as b4]

Does the Kermit green Focus also spend nights in a garage? I wouldn't want that on my drive overnight barely any more than an Impreza Sti which really does say steal me please scumbags!

[Billing]

MOT passed with flying colours, not a single advisory runs a bit better but could do with a service if I'm brutally honest

That exhaust system looks pretty epic, what does it sound like now?

It's carbon kevlartastic!

No idea on noise yet, not got any V4 port size exhaust gaskets plus I haven't had time to flick the carbs out and do the jetting. Going to give it a fresh set of plugs and see if I can find the missing rubber flap which should sort the running issue out

Pipes are loosely fitted up, just have to bust out the Stanley knife to modify the seat unit to clear the can hanger. Then I'll be looking to do the jetting and spray up the tail unit I got off the guy the exhaust came from.

Started spraying my single seat unit today, wants flatting back, another couple of coats of paint and then some clearcoat before it goes on.

Carbon hopefully arriving tomorrow made some satin black number boards for the seat unit, once it's fully lacquered I'll put them on. More to keep me occupied and get rid of a few offcuts I had knocking about, designed and cut the templates by hand so not expecting the most perfect job!

Also been sent some rubber screen trim for the air tubes and front apron edge to neaten it up once the parts arrive.
