Bit more progress



Adjustable shock mount finished





Tank plated up





More work on the seat pattern

Looking great Cabbie, whats the blue and red plastic looking parts on the shock mount spacers, these nylon spacers?

It's Acetal, this material makes superb bushes, comes in nice colours too

im liking the idea of an adjustable shock mount!
starting to look good (Y)

Not heard of that before Cabbie, your right though does look ace

Started the seat unit sheet metalwork

wow you've got skills , keep up the good work

Made up a new expansion tank and fitted it

Seat unit all welded up and sanded down, top mounting screws done and started trimming sides.

that looks amazing

So here's the final cut out shape for the side sections, the subframe back rails will get moved back out of sight, there will be inner sections added round the cutouts to add strength and give the seat a better look, there will also be an inner section added to the back cut out round the shock mount

Awesome, as ever mate. You keeping the original paint scheme or have you a new one up your sleeve?

Still the same paint job but instead of the HRC on the tank it'll get it's new name "EVO" but in the hrc style

Looking good.. amazing work!

More work on the seat etc



Tank mounts done





Seat pad and Bum pad made





Moved rear subframe posts and started making the inner seat section

Looks the dogs

New yokes arrived

wow they look great! Who did those for you Cabbie?

Streetfighterbling.net

Ah very nice, will have to use those guys one day when I need some custom parts looks excellent

.....such a bling merchant best get my bike outta your way in the workshop so you can get a wiggle on with yours!!

Started fitting 08 blade seat, best way to get a good fit is stick 60 grit paper to the tank and work the seat back and forth till it's perfect



I cut 3" off the front of the seat to make it look better



Just need to do some sheet metal work to blend tank, seat and frame

Looking good!! Nice idea with the sand paper on the tank, never would have thought of that.

Do like the yokes Cabbie ! Very nice !

Cabbie do you think the res on the ohlins shock will clear the standard CBR tail subframe? Mine is set in 5mm over stock do you think I will have the clearance?
