What's that purple fluffy thing hiding :lol: You coud do with making up a bracket for the can by the rearset simply for aesthetic reasons. Orange wheels look good. That will be the rising Sun :thumbup:

ok boys, it will never be finished...? well it is as far as i can do no more..

iv still to get the front guard fitted and reshape the pegs hangers but its as done as i want it.. first impression was, whys my clutch just let go :sad2 :sad2

so new plates and springs from mr mon :clap: sorted that.. its completely different bike to ride. the subframe,forks ,pipes and ecu have transformed it,, it seems to pick up revs from down low a lot better and by pure luck the jetting is spot on, no flat spots just twist and go.. handling wise it seems shorter, it actaully feels a lot smaller then the sum of the parts,,

so here is what has taken 15 months and a lot of planning and ducking and diving to get the bits and some great advice and help from folks on here..

iv tried to be faithful to what it looked like years ago or at least my version of what that is... i love it, i wouldnt do it again but i love it.

it was worth it for the sound alone from the pipes, the pops and bangs made me grin like a kid :thumbup:

Looking splendid

Only thing that looks odd to my eye is the rear seat cowl which appears much too butt up compared to all the other Moriwaki VTRs.

Somefolk go for an exaggerated botty up look (Bosozoku bikes + street fighters). Good to hear there's a range of adjustment to play with.
