Sorry Andy, nothing to report 
Had to board out the attic last weekend which meant a weekend off the bike, the workshop is appallingly disorganized too!!!
Should have some minor updates after I start on the guide coats and seat too.
No cash this month though as my bike allowance has gone into mousse tubes for the dirtbike.
Got some parts on my Xmas list though so hopefully Santa is good to me this year.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of this build. When does your shock arrive from Hagon?

When I save the cash and order it.
Thinking I might wait for a bit till I've got the bike a little more finished as I will be ordering a specific spring with it too, which will need me to figure out the final weight of the bike.
I need to do it early though as moving the bike without it is a massive pain. Just tried to move it and dropped the rear rim on the concrete floor and dinged the edge a little, very pissed with myself.
So tyres and shock will not be too far away, at least then I can roll it around the shed.
I was going to buy the shock from Hagon but believe it or not its cheaper to buy from David Quinn and have it shipped to Oz. Saves about $100 too, fark knows how that one works!!!

I've already got a shock analogue made out of 40x40 square section. It just means I would have to weld up the shock brace when I wouldn't be 100% sure about all the angles, not having the shock here means I don't know where it would sit under static compression.

Just dropping a note in the thread to let everyone know I'm still alive. Not much to report recently. No bike progress however I did make a little bike stand with coasters so I can roll the bike around the shed. Required as I tried to move all 130kg of I the other day and put a scratch on the edge of one of my rims (not happy )
Looks like I might be having a bike parts filled Christmas as Santa asked what I wanted. Currently the wish list was:
1. Hagon RD350LC shock
2. Tyres
3. LED tail light
4. TTR400 rearsets (hmmmmmm)
5. Classic honda tank decals
Some big tickets items here so I would be happy with anything to be honest, but hopefully it means a bit of inaction turns into some work soon and maybe even... dare I say it... a rolling chassis!!!!

Cheers DesmoBro. I hope the end result is as good as I have in my brain. Just need to make sure all the little details are done properly as I want a high quality and thoughtful finish.

Really? I thought I had detailed the tank? Apologies if I hadn't, this might be the first pic of it mounted on the bike.
