Looks real good man, i wish i was that far along in my build. Have to buy another vehicle since my mothers car died completely and she has no wheels to get around, so my bike building money is being spent on a new vehicle for now. :obscene-drinkingcheers: :D

Your probably right... :D jst refurbed the brakes, brake lines, spacers made up, sprocket and wheel mounted the rear caliper, spent a bundle on bits for the carb, stripped out the electrics, mapped it all out ( easier than I thought , once it was clean, and being armed with the proper Buell manual, only took a year to get) need oil lines, fuel lines, battery, and I reckon a dry runs in order :D

Ditching the seat and the oil tank, made up a new seat pan yesterday out of some plate I found, got enough for a No. plate mount, so that'll keep me oout of trouble for a while...

Ive lost the pans for the bender, I had an offer to get them lasercut, so Iam missing out on that project for a bit
