Cheers I'm getting there slowly just can't do anything at min bike over with the guy who's making tank
 
It took a lot longer than i hoped for as i have no lighting in my garage, so could only work in the summer plus i had a few holidays and a month in new zealand. I had to have a break from it for a few months it became obsessive ha ha ha ha ha. Took best part of 2 years i was in no rush to finish as have another bike to ride.
 
I've got a 400 four to do when this one is done.Paul May be asking you for some tips mate
