Nearly there. Still need to sort out the front brakes, run a clutch cable and tidy a few wires, bit very close to completion!
Tank is coming back from paint next week, and it should all be sorted by then.

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Given a few weeks after the birth of their new baby, I bet Mr T will be wishing it was a baby bike that had been delivered. I know bikes give all of us sleepless nights at times but at least you can lock the bikes away in the shed and ignore them for days, if not weeks, something you can't do with human babies, according to Social Services. ;) ;) ;)

Looking good

Looking very nice that pal

It's mounted to the frame, just in front of the pivot for the swingarm.

And I'd like to introduce Enzo - future garage and biking sidekick.
-
Wow!!
Congratulations to you both. I trust mother and baby are doing well.
Now put a spanner in his hand ;)

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.

Those Hagon shocks worked well on the bike ;)

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.
-
Very nice
-
Congratulations!
No doubt Enzo is in good hands!
Give him few years and he will need bike too!
My son is turning 7 this week, his favorite pastime is drilling holes in bris blocks in our garage!
-
That tank looks fantastic. 8) Love a bit of pinstriping. Black art these days.
-
looks top quality

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

Yeah, had a time trying to find a painter that wouldn't just put vinyl decals on. If I'm gonna pay for it, I wanted the real deal.
-
I think the results look like they speak for themselves. Who did it for you?

A guy named Jack from Peanutbutter Customs out of Watford. He's been an absolute legend helping me get the exact look I was going for. I'd definitely recommend him. www.peanutbuttercustoms.com

Cheers for the link. Following with interest. 8)

Up and running now - just need to sort the front brakes.

Looking good
No looking great!
-
That tank looks awesome. Are you bothering with sidepanels or will it spoil the look?

I'm keeping them off - I wanted that triangle clear to give the bike a lighter look to it.
-
Looks great really well done
-
Looks very good. Does not seem too many moons ago that we were popping the valves out of that head :)
-
Nice!
Looks like you ditched air box, you are not looking for a new home for it by any chance ::)
:)
-

They're K&N pods. I've read that as far as pod filters go, they're the best you can get, so I figured I'd give myself the best chance I could at getting it tuned up right.
-
Nice!

:)
I'm going to wait a while to see how the pods work out. If I can't get them running right then I'll put the airbox back on, but if they work it'll be up for grabs!
-
Good luck!
My bike worked on pods but I def need like to run original airbox.
