started making up the brackets and fairing fixings so I can get to finish the paintwork on the fairing and get her running good then fit the tub on haha using sprung cotter pins to hold the bracket stays on for quick release once the fairing is sandwiched between an outer and inner plate that will be riveted thru. tried to get me head round the wiring tonight but it ant sinking in ime fraggled ha ??? heres a few more updated pics for ya'll while I gets me a cold beer and colder shower cos its hot damn hot

I tell you what mate I don't normally like 4 cylinder bikes but this one is wicked. Everything is just spot on You better get a trip to next years IOM booked up and take that beast over there, it would be in it's element!

loving the attention to detail on this project.
Sorry to hear about the powder coating but as you say, most of it will be hidden by the other bike parts.

was at the manx last year and it is just as good as the TT although a bit more relaxed due to the higher average age of the participants.

Cheers pod mate hoping for this years manx don't mind having a few beers and if I had hair ide let it down ;D but I needs me sleep these days hahaha :-[ might have to warn the neighbours when it comes to fettling engine : Johno if I don't make the manx ile be over next year for certain " ya can't beat two wheeled nostalgia" I miss the sweet smell of two-stroke tho

[Tune-A-Fish]

I hope it sees some rain on track day so it gets filthy dirty haaah!!

 

[Kemp]

Beautiful fabrication, will be stunning. Can't wait to hear that beast running.

 

[Erskine]

Bloody lovely. The 4/4 exhaust rocks, looking forward to hearing it.
Shame those Cowboys messed up the powder coating, at least it's eclipsed by all the rest of the top work.

 

[hooligan998]

[yorkie350]

Cheers guys sorry its goin so slow like lots of others lifes been getting in the way :-[ progress slowed so I missed the classic TT at least for the bike, managed to take the wife instead but it aint the same on four wheels rather than two so onto what progress ive made :-\ fitted the electrics got a small tail/brake light & number plate for a daytime MOT fit a horn and electric start, oil n neutral light too they all up n running ;D but I ain't getting spark to my plugs from me coils :-\ wiring isn't my best point haha sure it will be something simple tho? started stitching seat pics to follow made my front fender goin to re-rivet the arms inside the main bracket as ive had to make some plates to attach it to the forks as the fitting holes don't line up soon as its ready gonna spray it up same finish as the fairing heres a couple of pics not much to show

 

[yorkie350]

Got my rev counter so made up a gauge mount out of Aluminium used some VW door trim to help dampen any vibrations also waiting for a set of velocity stacks to come in from speedMoto.com found them on here bought a set for my cb350f well worth it 8) 8)
had to buy a new oil pressure switch so I got my oil light working ok

 

[yorkie350]

The rev counter bracket will actually weld to front fairing mount when I jump onto welding the aluminium up, ??? heres a couple of pics of my spaghetti of wiring it all fits into the modified airbox envy you guys that get neat electrics at least I can get to fuses haha
