Well Happy new year gents. My bike is still stuck with the guy making the exhaust system, i was hoping to have it back by now and the engine out etc for painting over the xmas/new year break (good plans and everything) As soon as i have her back i'll post up some updates for everyone following this.

Little update from last week.

[brooker81]

FINALLY got the bike back today. Now to get started on the rearsubframe and modding the tank and electrics.... its gonna be a long year getting this thing ready for the road.

Liking this thread. Keep the pics coming.

Cheers friendboy. Yeah i'm being a bit coy about posting pictures as i have had people using my ideas from pictures i've uploaded so i'll have to be a bit more stealth about close ups etc. that said i don't mind sharing ideas etc just be nice to be kept in the loop about what idea's they are using. i don't want to upset the guy who's doing most of the engineering work.

Headers all finished with Akra end can on. It's now all lined up and fits sweet behind the rearsets.

Sorry there's been no updates in awhile 3 weeks in Jamaica have kept me busy (not working on the bike) Really need to crack on now the only thing i've made is a sweet set of custom dog bones that will look a bit more bespoke than the standard ones...

[Disorderlypunk]

and that is just porn im assuming adjustable aswell
think i might just save that pic to my folder of goodies

[brooker81]

Yes adjustable. I've got enough left to do another set so i can alter the height if i need too.

[focced_off]

Adjustable dogbones makes so much sense. Especially if you often/occasionally have a pillion, or strap on gear for a long weekend... means handling doesn't have to be compromised!  :thumbup

Any updates?

[brooker81]

There will be some updates soon, as i get my arse in gear. Headlight to be mounted and tank/subframe to be completed it's hard getting anytime on this once the nice weather comes i'd rather be out on the other bikes oh and my lovely custom yoke should be on soon.

[brooker81]

Sorry it's been awhile... Couldn't get logged on for over a month.
Anyways here is whats been done.


Rear light fitted
Custom Top yoke arrived (yet to be fitted)
Headlight arrived and moked up mounting ( looks great)
Tank modded to take seat.


Pics to follow when i get my arse in gear
