Eric asked for a few photo's, I made the fairing brackets today so its not taped on anymore!, going with 4 into 1 at present but will change to 4 into 4 when funds allow, staying with a brake rod on the rear as well, I have the cable to do the conversion but have been told that the cable doesn't work too well, I'll change the rod to black though as it stands out too much in chrome/silver,  lots still to do, bodywork goes to paint next weekend then I have to concentrate on sorting the electrics, I was taking it to the TT but in the great tradition of British projects I'm running late, that said I hope to be completed by the end of June (although wifey has started to mention holidays :(),

UK Pete:
Nice work Mark, will it be a rider or show bike?
pete

MarkCR750:
Definitely a rider Pete, I'm building it for the road, it will be a shame to have a number plate stuck on the back but I'm making it quickly detachable as a unit with the rear lights and indicators, the front indicators will be very small and mounted inside the Perspex screen with a small projector headlight so that I have a white light at the front, once again they will be quickly detachable, at least I wont have to fit a tax disc holder after October  :)
Note the oil tank, it's the original tank lightly modified and rotated through 90 degrees, looks a bit odd in the photo but very "period* when seen in the flesh, I was going to make an ally tank (or buy one £500) but I like it the way it is so it's staying.
The engine is not modified other than it will have bell mouths on the carbs so will be re-jetted, I have another engine that I will be converting to 836cc once again when funds/time allows.
