My headlight arrived today 
it's a bit plastic-ey but I'll paint it up and it'll be all good! It's a tripple L.E.D unit so should give out some good light too.
Had a chance to do a very quick mock up, the headlight's in the wrong place but you get the idea.

Hello Tony, I was intending to go that way withit to start with. The only way I could think of was the stuff the rude boys use to tint their rear lights. I gave it a go on a spanner but didn't like the look of it too much. It could work better on a polished surface I suppose.....

Another early crimbo present arrived today:
My oil cooler was shot to pieces, actually bent in two places.... So nice shiny new one.

Still loving the finish on your frame. Really do fancy going the same or a similar route with my frame if/when I get around to sorting my bike out.
Keep up the good work.. looking forward to seeing the end result

What's with all this progress malarkey, we're not used to seeing bikes develop like this. I expect to see vast purchases of bits and some planning then, ehhh, nothing much really!

Vast progress? I think maybe I did the butt scratching bit at the beginning of the project, I have had the bike since January! Want to get it on the road in time for winter lolKev L wrote:What's with all this progress malarkey, we're not used to seeing bikes develop like this.
