Bikes looking good.  Where abouts have you mounted the battery?
It's mounted to the frame, just in front of the pivot for the swingarm.

Congratulations on the new arrival!!

Like the bracket.  Was that an off the shelf item?
No, I had Ryan at RunRiot cycles fab it for me.  He has the cad/cam files ready to go for a few battery sizes, so if you're interested I'd give him a buzz.  You can find them on Facebook.

More on the bike - tank paint is going down.  Here is a shot from the painter before the clear starts going on.  It's candy cobalt blue with an old english white insert and silver lettering and pinstriping.

Congratulations!
No doubt Enzo is in good hands!
Give him few years and he will need bike too!

That tank looks fantastic.  8) Love a bit of pinstriping. Black art these days.
And if I claim to be a wise man, it surely means that I don't know.

 Lifechanging to be a dad. The bike looking very good too.
Ps don't be too offended if Enzo follows suit of what my first lad did on his first shed visit, and enjoy the tinkly sound of chucking bolts around etc.you have been warned.
Got a 500/4 with rust and a sidecar and loadsa bits. nice and original and been round the clock

Polished up and ready to go.  Will have some pics of it on the bike once it arrives on Thursday!
