Not strictly today but yesterday in the sun - finally fitted the Remus cans and link pipes to the old girl. Pleasantly fruity sounding indeed! 😜 I'll have to sort out some quick release passenger footrests and hangers - maybe.... At some point, I'll see about making new headers - just need time and ...

Very nice indeed, I'm jealous! Though my lack of riding skills means it would be hopelessly wasted on me anyway

Happy birthday you cheeky young scamp!

Great vid that.

I was just thinking the other day that is wish I still had the toolbox I made as an apprentice over 40 years ago. Feck knows where it got to...

Lost balance with mine during the week as I wheeled it off the ramp....

Luckily, just a light scrape on on the the cases and the mirror pulled round.

That's it

Thanks for your input though, always appreciated!

Now to sort out other bits n pieces!

Took me all day, I was rustier than the rim!

I haven't built a spoked wheel in 20 years.

Started out a bit shabbier, though.

I'll do the rear one tomorrow.

Very nice indeed!

Not my bike but helped to design an exhaust for my mates CX500 Bobber.

Looking forward to bending it up and seeing if anything actually fits...
