Wow dude, truly an epic result.  My only critique: stock turn signals?
+1 This crossed my mind as well... I felt guilty mentioning it. But they stopped my eye for sure.
Almost glaringly stock, but there is way too much awesome going on for me to complain. LOL

Thanks all for the kind words, I'm pretty happy with the way she's turned out overall, some things still need changing (yep, naughty stock turn signals) but they will be tinkered with over time, rest assured!

Hi mate, I made them out of an old leather satchel I found at the tip. Pulled it to bits, cut it in half, reshaped them around the latches and glued them all back together. Dead easy. Give it a go, you've got nothing to lose if you find a cheap enough satchel!

Alright thanks. I was planning on making them myself because I wasnt able to find anything that would work.

She's a beaut Noddy!  Have to agree the indicators have to be changed.

So, where you heading first, the past or the future? ;)

Yep, went the 520 conversion kit from Todd Henning. Same teeth/length as stock. I never really rode it before the build as it was knackered, so I don't know what kind of difference it made, I just wanted a gold chain... bling!

Haha that last photo "like a boss", but well earned, the details on that bike are extraordinary.  Thanks for putting it up here for us all to see.
