Thank you, pretty chuffed to be honest. PS the bastard thing is broken yet again...piston holed while running in :(

Hey...I'd logged in to post a link but you got there first, thank you and thank you :)

Fantastic outcome, well deserved praise fella.

Well done....I discovered the fork legs on the Honda are handed and different lengths, by 9mm. Ordered a leftside leg only to find it was too long, supplier insisted it was a left leg...so stripped out the rightside to find it was a leftside.....like the one I'd ordered...:/ Carry on Beachy.

It's very nearly done...

Blimey, thank you. I shall take my time to read through. From my brief skim mine might be running too rich (I have moved the needle circlip up one notch) thank you.

So, trying to tune the carbs to make it run better. It's very much trial and error as I have zero experience in dialing in carbs to expansion pipes. However, it would run like it was bogging down, like it was rich and overfuelling....ful throttle would have it go slower!! But, feathering the...

I used a split cardboard box too. :)

Thanks, I based it on what a comp bike would look like, so function over form, clean but not too showy, no overly polished alloy here, understated decals...the grey frame is a nod towards comp bikes, but the blue suede is a showy touch I couldn't resist. Headlamp cowl is Honda CD175. I had...

Thanks man......I'm pleased my idea turned out OK. The headlight cowl is from a Honda CD175 with upgraded Keito headlight/bulb unit. Bright n hot!!

Nice old gauge. Where will you mount it, engine or bars..or?

So, post MOT fettling including: I had an issue with the number plates, I sticky padded a legal plate to the already sticky padded smaller one.....one roadtest later and both had removed themselves from the bike. Haha...I only noticed the morning of the MOT...arrghh...I ran it up the road and...

ridesolo & maritime - thank you, I've very pleased :) Also, it's been accepted into the UK Kickback event on September 18th 2022 held at Gloucester Jail. https://www.kickbackshow.com/

Yay, UK MOT has passed. My local bike shop is very handy and John knows his stuff. I'm pleased he gave the build a thumb's up :) minor advisories: Raise the angle of the rear brake pedal so it clearances the Micron when depressed. Slight weep on l/s fork seal No chain guard So, a clean bill of...

Thanks man.

I consider myself very fortunate to have a selection of mates with various skills at my disposal so to speak. I wish I had and could use a lathe and really must fire up my MIG more often, get some practice. Still, progress is progress Beachy. :)

Thanks chap.....finally got there innit :)

This is the latest guise...a few purposely selected decals, but to stick to my rule.....all decals have the product fitted, or the service or the retailer....authentic. Stickers for the sake of stickers is something I find off tbh.

You know I stated last week I'm ready for an MOT?...well, it's tomorrow!! Fitted the following to make it absolutely ready. New Domino grips in grey/black that fit the Beta twister - they look just right. MOT regulation registration/number plate affixed on pads - a horrid 8x6" lump :/ 1x...

This happened today :)
