Yeah gauges were restored - parts from Marcel before he sold the business...

As always beautiful work and the photography really highlights it. Any info on the tailight? Its a little thinner than my K1 tailight and I like it ;)

Project Centura (The Silver Bullet)

Thanks for the feedback and following along.

It’s a UK-spec rear lamp used on the early K bikes  here - I’m just using up stock parts I have on the shelf here so ended up fitting what I fancied to be honest.

Same with the CNC fork caps which came from cognito-moto a few years back from memory and never got fitted.

Ah ok that makes sense - it reminded me of a German spec tailight. I did notice the fork caps and good to know - I have TTR400 caps from Kevin in SA and really like them. Looking forward to the next update :)
