The way I’m looking at it, I can’t make it any worse. Runs sweet, sounds awesome. Not a buzz or rattle anywhere, she just ain’t pretty.
I tried to get a look at yours through the thread but none of the pictures were available.
Seen some beauts on line, some real inspiration out there.

Did see your clocks though, did you get that unit working? If so, where did you get it?

Clocks not sorted yet will have another go at the weekend old photos were on photobucket here’s how it is now ImageImageImage
I wanted a single rad at the front but have run out of skills and inspiration Image

The Ohlins Shock is a nice bonus, and some carbon engine case covers ... The rest of it needs shot blasted :lol:

Duffy that’s stunning work. That’s a high bar you’ve set.

AMCQ, ALL the carbon has gone, it looked awful and was fraying. And fortunately it was such a poor job of painting it’s coming off with wet and dry and polishing mops. Almost all gone but I gotta get back to work so progress will slow now.

Hello Gareth,

good on you for taking on the Broadsword challenge.

Have a look at the latest MadMax movie pics for inspiration. Lots of rat-fighter bike looks and given some of them are art style some of the look is easier to achieve.

I'm on a stock bike & have a rubbish spanner set so i'm no help to you.
