Wow that's quite impressive looking especially thinking back to the box of mixed bits you started with you must be chuffed to bits.

I find the yellow cable ties rather endearing.

Have you ridden it yet?

WOW tough crowd RE cable ties :'(
No, really they are a leftover from using an auxiliary tank. The real tank has to come off again to balance carbs at which time all (visible) cable ties will be removed. :)

I haven't ridden it yet do to carb issues but hope to soon.

Beautiful job you must be very proud. Hope you get the carbs sorted ready for a ride before the weather gets too bad.

Remember what you do to your bike is entirely up to you and your tastes!!!
