So, the parts are back from powder coating
I think the exhausts look good, though I am not too sure about the red swing arm now
Will have to see what it looks like when built up

Parts back from powdercoater

Can't see the photos down under.
Post a few more pics of your progress!
When you finally finish it I want a You Tube Vid at the least so I can hear what it sounds like!
Love to see it on the road.
Sorry to say it but, nothing sounds like a Duc. That was hard to say!

Maybe it's time to change the title from "first time project " to long term project:-)

Now that the VTR is finished, it's time to get this thing finished
To that end, I have cleaned up and sorted the workshop, and made a start
Last year I took some of the bike apart again and had quite a few bits powder coated
Started to re fit them today
So here is the bike having just put the wheels back on
That's the start point
The idea now is to get it on the road
Once that is done, I can start to make some decisions on colour etc

Watch this space
What for another 4 years ?
You've made a start, now finger out & get it finished !
You need to finish quickly so we can start mocking Duffy & the neverending fighter project...
