Tnx Texas!
There is a lot of small and bigger things to do... but now it's pretty much: what you see is what you get

 

[jdizon]

such an amazing build man! truly inspiring. Wish I had the fabrication skills you have.

 

[Pattheswede]

Tnx Jdizon
Well, a year ago I didn't know a sh** about welding, sheet metal fabrication or painting... or anything of what I'm doing today
Still not sure if I know what I'm doin.... but I don't give up without trying, sometimes a lot more than once and not afraid of failing

 

[jdizon]

Man that's awesome!

Tnx Jdizon

Pat, man that looks great!!

 

[Pattheswede]

Tnx a lot!
Right now in some "no energy mode" and much to much to do at work
But hope to find some time in garage soon.... feels like I'm not that far away to have it in one piece..

 

[Pattheswede]

Found some time and energy yesterday evening :
Started out a new seat, lovely to do some sheet metal work again... it's been all about engines, cleaning, painting... for a while

[Pattheswede]

So, seems not to have time enough..
But have started to build a frontfairing, should just have been a small one, but seems to get more and more lika a real oldschool race-fairing..

Amazing metal skill set Pat. I think this will be a BOTM contender when she's finished.

 

[MotorbikeBruno]

Very cool 8)

So I've been following your build silently and I could resist posting anymore. This bike is amazing.

 

[Pattheswede]

Tnx, all of you!

[Bobbed_out]

Wow I'm in love!

 

[johnu]

Pat, fairing looks excellent!!! Keep it up. You need to get into aluminium sometime though

 

[jdizon]

Fairing totally completes the bike!

 

[Pattheswede]

Tnx!
I really appreciate your response and makes me try a little bit harder to make this first attempt to a nice build.

Yes, I really want to get into aluminium. But I need to have another tigwelder i think (AC)... AND starting with aluminium, I really want to be able to have it polished, NO bondo... and I think that is next step (or next next next ) in learning... today I can make it "pretty smooth" but counting on bondo, grinding and painting to get a good surface and finnish.

Great job with the fairing!
