However I suppose if your making stuff to fit it would make sense to do the frame last as you may need to alter it for certain parts to fit.

That was precisely the idea.  Since I'm changing a bunch of things I needed to wait to be sure I won't have to drill, grind or weld once the powder is on.

looking good, and loving that exhaust! i built up my project first to see where everything goes, but its essential to do a dry build with any custom bike as very little lines up as it should. keep it going - ready for the spring?

Better be!  I've been instructed by the missus that it needs to be done by Feb as we've got a little one on the way and she wants me out of the shed.

You planning on keeping the kids in the shed?  Now there's an idea...

28 years too late for me I'm afraid  :)
