Dominator 4

Dominator 4 Mods

Changed the anti roll bar and the elastomer housings today on the bigfoot front end, this then made room for the splash guard to sit inside the bar.

The Cheetah Comes Home

Well the Cheetah returned home today, and it was great to see this buggy again, Heathcliff wanted a front end to ride bigfoots, it went together well, we also lengthened the bottom section of the original swan neck.

Arhhhhhhhhhhh

Got to wait another week for my seat and covers due to a computer malfunction at buggybags.....arhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Buggy Boards have arrived thanks to DSK

Well pleased with the Buggy boards from DSK, top workmanship....just waiting for my covers and seat now....come on Jon pull your finger out

Dominator 4

finished the fabrication now of the smaller end for the Dominator 4, covers arrive tomorrow, I hope the seat arrives soon, I am getting itchy feet.....I wanna get to the beach

Attaching Lines

I spent yesterday afternoon attaching all the lines to the Cooper kites....

Cooper Kites have arrived

I wondered what the huge box was that was delivered this morning, only for a few seconds though, I then realised my new sponsored race kites had arrived....I am like a kid at Christmas

The Cheetah is coming home......Great

The owner of the Cheetah phoned me today wanting a front end that will take a bigfoot, this will be interesting as the frame was originally made for barrows/midis, but this is the kind of project I love and will pass the boredom of being unemployed

sponsorship

Yes....as expected yet another offer today from Libre this time

Splash Guard

Had a bash at a splash guard today, I was impressed with the SB2 one, so worked along those lines, this time it is not connected to the swan neck, so is free to move with the forks.

Smaller Front End For the Dom 4

Well, after much fabrication, I finally got the smaller front end as I want it...it feels good, just waiting now for BBags to pull his finger out and send me the clothes for this buggy. DKS have made a cracking job of the buggy side and rear plates, he also sent me a personalized T Shirt with the Dominator 4 on....nice one Neil, many thanks.
