Well unfortunately lads this is another project that has kicked the bucket :(

Money is needed elsewhere (wedding) which has to come first. What with finding that I need a new shock at over 400quid it pushed the price up to much.

I want to thank everyone for the help with info, offering help and everything else. So it is now back to the drawing board for the braced swing arm and what to do with the exhausts :think:

On the plus side I think I have found the right shade of gold for the wheels :thumbup:

If anyone wants the swing arm let me know and we can sort something else. The wheels have already gone. Swingarm comes with caliper.

I am rather sad to see this one go. Was really looking forward to it and getting it finished. Looks like big projects just arnt happerning for me at the moment.

Again thank you all for your help and comments. You have all be rather helpful as usual :thumbup:

I would have thought getting married is a fairly big project :wink: although perhaps that's not exactly the correct terminology :D

A shame this has come to an abrupt halt as I had another picture of one to post up, but these things happen, it's called life.

The twisty thing on the right handle bar makes the bike louder, so the noise from the exhausts pushes you faster and harder. The lever in front of it quietens it, like the one near your right foot, just better. The lever on your left quietens it also, but doesn't slow it down as much ( that's wombles voodoo ). I don't know what the lever near your left foot does though. :(
