I believe it is a f1 tank not sure of the paint scheme as I still need to paint the bike once the the seat has been made and I've mounted the rear sets.

What is it with the gigantic seats or is it a trick of the light?   :o
I hate our gigantic number plates as well.

I'll look forward to updates.

Maybe you and your countrymen can get together and get those license plates cahnged to smaller sized plates like the USA has.
I bet if the ruling class wanted it, they could get it done.

Unless the ruling class OWNS the company that sells the metal plates. Lol..lol

I know most Americans thinks it stupid.

I know what you could ....I just thought of it.

Scale up your license plates on your car to the same oversize amount and start driving around with it as a protest. Do it all on the same day!! Get it on the TV news.

Since TV is always portraying motorcyclists as thugs when we know the real thugs are
the corporate CEO's that steal us blind with retirement packages that look like lottery wins.

Yes, it could very well be. It belongs to my mate with the eye wear. I'll ask him tomorrow to confirm.

So as you can see the carpys exhaust is mounted



Decided that the bag end of the bike needs some work, so we have lowered the rear brace now just waiting for the rear pod to be built

I went to have the crank balance only to find it was useless due to the large amount of wear on the centre bearing

So on the phone to cycle x to import a refurbished crank which has been balanced but stock weight

I see you've chosen to weld the carpy to the frame rather than let it hang loose. Are you planning to powder it or leave it naked?

You need to cut in a grove with a dremel tool, than cold chisel and the ring should brake and come off.

What's the purpose of that flap welded to the front of the frame? Oil cooler?
