I looked at that but if the chap has the brain to think that system up and manufacture the rest to such a mint standard you would have thought he's been through the pro's and cons enough to know whats not a goer and what is.

Wonder what the weight distribution is like now as that's a lot of metalwork up front. Mind you with no frame and other changes (everywhere) I bet he's  been through everything and off set some stuff against other bits to keep it somewhere like the original. Id love to see more of it from different angles, its ace.

Is that a Falco motor or an RSV Mille lump? I love the exquisite engineering on that, I bet it's an utter pig to service mind? You can't get anywhere near the motor to get at it. Never the less, what a fantastic bike and clearly the obsession of someone whos totally got the concept and has the physics in his head to make it.........clever chap(ess) ;) :)

Stunner!

I know its a full concurs resto but what a beautiful thing!  :)
Even then they knew how to build a bike, loving the reverse exhaust ported engine. Ace build quality and looks to go with it  :)

Loving the RD behind too :o

I've had a few off him in the last few weeks, hard to tell the difference from the OE tbh, spot on and highly recommended.

I've used RS several times over the years through resto's of several LC's, Ducati 853, GT550 and my current VFR VTEC and their matches have been spot on although a bit dear but you pay for what you get and I cant fault the matches in the slightest. Best to speak to them than email but a good bunch and well worth a chat with.

Now that looks like Julie is very practiced with a ruler IMO, no idea why of course.

Naughty step for you Ken! ;) ;D

Feel your pain. I’m currently dealing with a very, very stubborn float bowl drain screw that shows no signs of yielding despite the use of heat, penetrating fluid and a custom screwdriver fashioned to fit the slot full depth and width. There has to be a way?

Put your screwdriver on the screw apply pressure but don't gorilla it or it will just distort and knacker. With a small hammer or heavy 'ish' screwdriver, ( I have a 4oz machinists hammer). whilst providing said pressure just tap the end of the driver repeatedly, (not hard and ) and try to keep tapping for a couple of minutes. It'll come, if it doesn't just repeat.
Sometimes they give up easily, sometimes it may take a couple of goes but it worked a treat for me on pretty much every welded shut screw and bolt on mine.

Im not saying beat the granny out of it but a constant percussive force no matter how weak will dislodge it  in the end. 'Penetrating oil a go go' I hasten to add.............

There’s another gold very similar to candy gold custom called candy starlight gold, it’s slightly lighter in shade. I’ve had both colours and whilst I really really like candy gold custom I prefer candy starlight gold as it has smaller metallic flakes in the finish. The candy gold was a 500k1 colour and the candy starlight is a 500k0 colour.

I knew this woud happen ;D ;D I'll go check it out Ken, cheers buddy 8)
