That’s a very interesting looking bike. Some nice work gone on there, all credit to you. Sorry but your wings on the side panel is pointing the wrong way but that’s just the OCD in me.

Well done - alot of hard work I'm sure. Paintwork is very striking. Did you do it yourself?

Bryanj:
At least you have the carbs you can work with

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys, and yes there has been alot of hard work and I've really enjoyed it. Even the bits I messed up and had redo two or three times!

Just can't wait to get it out on a good run now to see if it all stays together and setup properly.  I'm sure I will be asking for more advice as I go.

I know it's a bit different and not to everyone's taste but it's an image I've had in my head for a long time and I'm really pleased with the results. It can in theory still be converted back to stock fairly easily as nothing has been cut off or modified that can't be undone.

I had a friend do the tank paintwork, that was something I wouldn't tackle in my garage. He's a very tal8bloke and treats every project like it's his own.
