Starting to look like a bike at last!
« on: May 02, 2014, 07:57:36 PM »
Still a long way to go but starting to look like a bike at last!, the frame is shiny honest! (covered in sellotape at mo to stop scratches), note the fork brace, it arrived today from Fastec, £112 delivered, they made the clamps to suit the K7, can't praise them enough, if anyone needs a fork brace here's the owners email, cheers Mark.

Very nice Mark. Looks like most of the basics are done.

Thanks, yes I've got brakes front and rear, exhaust is done, will fit it tomorrow (4 into 1), I'll change it to 4 into 4 in the future when funds allow, engine runs but i need to re-jet the carbs, then tidy the electrics, then make the fairing brackets...lots of small jobs really, I guess I could actually test ride it tomorrow but I'll resist the temptation !

I'm about 2 months off plan myself Pete, mainly because we didn't have a winter so I spent my time riding instead of building!, but yeah time and just one pair of hands, difficult.
