great work.........

Cheers guys for the nice comments.

Not got that many photos I can show as the ones I have are for a magazine feature and prob shouldn't post them before the mag is out.

Since these photos I have removed the steering damper, was to big and in the way. Bit of a trial thing really as have had them on other bikes.

At some point i would like to install some new idiot lights instead of the stock Honda ones and maybe lower the clocks slightly. All stuff i can live with for a while.

Hi lchris21 sorry for the short build thread,

I have more photos of the build on a disc in a box somewhere just need to find it. One of those safe places that's never that safe.

Yorkie's bike is sweet too!

 

[yozzer74]

Cheers yorkie I've had a number plate holder rear light welded on my rear loop but don't like the look with plate on. I do like the look of these 2 bikes as long as you can get away with smaller plate .does it need to have a light above number plate.

 

[yorkie350]

To have a full MOT it needs to be lit ime sure, but you can go for a daytime MOT then you don't need it lit but need a brake light on the bike. That's what my next project racer type's gonna get, daytime MOT ,no lights (except brake light ) no indicators no main light , most small garages/ bike shops are pretty sympathetic towards old time rebuild projects worth havin a natter with a couple before shelling out any cash :-\
