Default it's almost waiting for me.

given my current predicament it's going to be some time before I can make any use of it or anyone sees the results of my work.

anyway I would say it's still awaiting pinstripping/ decals & clear coat, also the rear light and air scoop grills need fitting.

But this should give you a good idea.
new all sing lump, custom maxton forks, new rear shock, rebuilt rear hub and suspensionn linkage.

first go.
]

after a bit more paint.


the other side of things.







something to look forward to

Cheers Mark.

It went without saying it'd look different didn't it? Still don't know what you see in that headlight cowl, but I love the scheme...

here's frustration for you,one more day and I'd have it finished, just one

and even better a hand-built monster of an engine with all of 17 miles on it

Still both bike and rider will be justifiability slow when first out.

Cheers Mark.

Doesn't really do it for me, but I am all for personalised bikes and individuality, so here's hoping you get better soon and can burn about on it turning heads!
