It's on the road

Yep, it's on the road, ain't finished by any means, but it's there! Whadya think?





All comments welcomed, but I know, still alot to do yet!!!

I'm not a fighter fan but I do like that mate

Cheers mate, that means a lot!

Looks great Al,

I think that headlight cowl is just the right height, gives it a nice line across the top of the tank to the tailpiece!!!!

Nice work.....bike also looks quicker too

Are the brakes working ok?

Thanks FBF, they work enough to get bike up my drive. Gonna trailer it to the bike shop and get em done properley with some nice new carbon coloured brake lines.
That first pic was blurred? here's another one;

Are you paying to the DVLA fee to change to colour on the logbook?

Yeah, suppose I'd better, how much is it, might be changing my engine soon?

Not sure, last time I looked was when I were a lad, sure it was about £6.00

Can just about cope with that. Got any sugestions mate? Got a lot to do yet. Get rid of all the blue including the turquoise Nitron spring!!!

I really think it looks great as is! Get your shock cover you mentioned like Griz used and that'll look good. The overbraid looks nice and neat.

Friggin love it mate!

Thanks Kjartan!

10 points 4 the swinger,love it!!!

I'm not agree..

Whassat , a rad cover. Like the horns on it?

some samco hoses would look nice?

yep

must have if fighted!

Its lookin good mate

Anyone coming past Germany with a car to pickup up Mega's next purchases?

Bas*%rd !!!

Some of those camo samco's look nice, although your braiding looks really cool too. If you have standard Honda hoses you could sell the blue kit and still get decent money for them towards some of the above.

I don't think you need any graphics on the bike, it looks real dark as it is, very nice, not sure about a belly pan either, think one might look too 'aftermarket' if you know what I mean?....and it'll get caught on kerbs + traffic islands?? although tiny projector beams forward mounted either side would look good on one.

Yeah, will be sellin the blue Samcos, got those two 50mm projectors to refit too!

Have you planned where to put them??

They'd look neat tightly mounted in here:

Yeah good idea FBF. Still struggling with the fairing/clock brackets. Gonna MOT it on April 17th with just Gilera lights then have a mess with projectors.
Appreciate your suggestions and ideas mate, keep em comin, but remember I ain't got much dosh.

Who needs dosh (me ) when you can use ingenuity ?

Yeah, that's what I like. One tw%t on ASF spent £40,000 buildin his bike and it was a pile of crap!!!. Somebody told me I couldn't fit a VTR1000 front wheel to my RRW, so I did!!! Anybody can buy stuff and bolt it together, takes ingenuity to do it on a budget???

It sure is lookin good mate!!!

The colour is spot on & I agree with FBF, you don't need any stickers on it, just follow through with the whole polished alloy & grey black colour scheme!!

Really looking forward to seeing it in the flesh!!
