Sorry it's been a while between updates, we've been moving house.. which sucks. I've got so much crap! Anyway, everything is moved except for Isabel... but the good news is she is practically ridable! All she needs is the damn seat to be done, then it's time to take her on the road... though I won't be able to get the seat done in time for move out date, so it'll be a pillow strapped to the seat pan style seat for the first ride... not ideal, but what can you do?

Some juicy pics of the progress...



Finally got my brass cable adjusters after 8 weeks in the mail...



Ooo... and what do we have here?







My good ol' Dad came up with this solution a couple of days ago... brilliant! I love it.

Actually it was a good solution against having to make major modifications to the petcock and carbs... but hey, vibration reduction is a good side-effect!

I thought this was going to end up cheesy, but it's just flat out gorgeous.

Really great work Noddy! I have to echo others in saying most steampunk stuff is over the top, but you have done an excellent job keeping it realistic with the perfect touch of steampunk aesthetic. Well done, sir!

I love it! Copper is one of my favorite looking metals, so the copper plated frame is absolutely awesome!

I'm thinking about including some small copper/brass accents on my bike just for contrast. Nothing anywhere near the level you have, just little things here and there like the fuel lines and brass adjusters, so I might have to borrow your idea for using copper fuel lines
