Wow that's very impressive Phil. Have you fired her up yet, bet it sounds superb.
Not ready for start up yet Roy - just a few weeks away. Still sorting lots of sub harness's around digital speedo/rev counter/etc to ensure reliability around the 'birdsnest' of wires by headstock. Have just blanked crank oil hole (where starter gear was) so should be able to try and get oil pressure up next). Need to sort a variety of jets and make some baffles. So I anticipate a few months really (and misus is on my case to start the fitted wardrobes I've been saying I'd start since January!)

Splendid bike and excellent workmanship. I visited Phil last year i.e. before the paintwork and fairing were done and fitted, but the first impression of Phil's CR was how the small details looked 'spot on' and everything had not only been well planned out, but executed to a really high standard......despite some serious 'head scratching' along the journey.

Another great example of the skills and dedication of sohc Forum Members......and one of the many reasons why this Forum is so good.

Well done Phil......I salute you.

P.S. his stock CB750 is rather tasty as well !

GS750E. ZZR1100. CB1300 (2). ZXR1200S. VFR800. CB750 Nighthawk. CX500. XS500 Yam. Suzuki GT500. BSA A10. Various Lambrettas. Zundapp Bella (honest).

They're in the fairing body already if you zoom in Mark - quite discreet - rear are part of LED rear light

Funny that's almost what I did on the Guzzi this year before I stripped it.
I started with a leaky rocker cover and now the whole rear end is stripped and waiting to be reassembled.  ::)

You’ll be surprised Phil, it won’t be as uncomfortable as you think, I have the exact same seat unit on mine, because you are leaning forward a lot of the weight is taken on your inner thighs, I can do at least 60 miles in one stint without discomfort, then a coffee stop then out again for more fun, it will handle better than you think as well due to the weight loss, I wonder how much lighter they are?, just the standard Honda rear mudguard and light unit weighs about 1 metric tonne! :)
