Thanks Ray.  In need of a run to test shock setup. Might see you Monday at St. Annes, work and weather permitting.

Sounds good. That would complete the "package".

That might be the best looking fender ive seen yet. I like the way you cut the sides out.

i can answer this 1 remove the front bolt behind the shocky and screw the blinkers in after feeding the wire thru the hole
btw yes you have to cut the wire for the blikker and rejoin after mounting
sorry its not a good pic you'll get the idea tho

The indicators are similarly mounted but what I did to get them right and tight was drill the thread out of the frame and use a half nut between the fender and finisher to lock the indicator in... The rear fender is not cut, It is a hand made fibreglass and sprayed...(this can replicated for about £35 in primer finish if anyone is interested?)... The seat, (as with any other bits you see are all completely self built) Fibreglass base, leather upholstered.. Thanks for your comments, I appreciate feedback on my ideas and designs... I am thinking P/C for the shrouds, but the fork legs I think will have to be sprayed... Satin black... or maybe just spray the lot... any ideas?

Well done Mike. Looks like your work in progress is shaping up just nicely. I really appreciate your showing all your mods mate. Thanks for that and looking forward to seeing more in the future too, which I have no doubt will be equally great eye candy. You must feel really part of the bike now I'd reckon, sitting low like that.

Riding position now is as cool at 30mph as it is at 100mph...  Jass, shock mount covers are hand made from stainless to fit either the hagons or original, I made them because My seat is considerably narrower that stock stuff and it left a real ugly "gap"...

Very nice Mike, I particularly like the seat and your shock mount covers are a clever solution. Looking good. Brendan, what pipes are you running? Those cocktail shakers have always been my favorite look for exhausts.

Ray, was thinking of leaving the yokes as are for a bit of contrast on the front end. (Chrome headlight, etc.) I just think the front needs "matching" to the rest of the bike now...

That looks awesome.I really like the back fender. I almost cut mine like that when I went to the side mount LP bracket but I decided to mold it in instead. Now Im not sure?

And again...   Fitting the new cap was bit of an ache... They don't fit the 07 tank... Without some modification...  Forgot to mention... Also whilst apart this time i rejetted the carbs (in situ) 130's and fitted a 19 front sprocket... Haven't noticed a huge difference though...
