This project looks a lot like mine.

Hi jmagno316, I'd not seen your build before but after reading your build thread I can see a few similarities. Yours has a more aggressive stance tan mine which I like. Keep up the good work. Some pretty entertaining posts in your thread too.

Bit more progress on the CB build yesterday. Started to plan the final placement of the Antigravity batteries and the Motogadget M-Unit. After much messing about and mocking up I quickly realised I'd underestimated the space needed. Originally I wanted both batteries and the M-Unit in the tail but it was too tight. I had to come up with an alternative place for the second battery. I modified a low profile battery box from Cognito Moto. It'll be sprayed with some black rubberised spray paint next then finally placed:

Yeah, curious about that paracord lashup.

I tied the secondary battery box in with some 550 military spec paracord as I might not keep it permanently. Using the paracoed and a bolt lets me take it off at a later date if I don't need it.

As for the engine, I took a trip up to DM Engineering to see the progress....considering the block looked like it had been at the bottom of the sea it looks absolutely amazing. Like jewellery. Just waiting for a set of oversize Wiseco pistons to arrive from the US and it'll be all buttoned up and ready to drop into the frame.

I use paracord lashups on my chop for cables etc. Cases look great.
