Right here is my latest Project, picked this up through Gary (Eyrey1) Had it shipped to Inverness and rode it tae the ferry in Ullapool, Good Points Proper NK Racing front and rear conversion, rides real well Engine is sweet as a nut and pulls well, Oil pump by Arrow Tank is solid and seems clean inside Everything works lol Everything else I would term as OK but needs work lol, So gonna strip it down , plastic coat everything, nickel plate the fittings, its getting resprayed in white/blue, standard decals, some nice pipes, and all the other bits that come wi doin a special, so watch this space, already sold the standard pipes on it  Some pics , they make bike look cleaner than it is

Really good start you have there. Will be lovely finished.
I cut my rgv hugger down as well, way too big as standard
Then bought a carbon one, cut that too, expensive purchase to cut half it off

, I've got an Rgv hugger for my hybrid but have never fitted it, i just seem to lay it in place and keep wondering if i like it not, will have to think about getting the dremel out.
Thanks for the photos and good luck with the rebuild, looks like you are of to a good start.

They look fine with the slightly longer wheelbase and chunkier swingarm with the rgv conversion,they will do fine until i tune the motor next winter , then they can go on my standard 4lo |

Thanks for the comments so far lads, well been a busy time lately with work after our wee 113mph storm up here after new year, then my lad blew up his RS125  Happens don't it lol , anyway had to rebuild the mota and as it's the full fat 33bhp engine in this thing it wassnae at all straightforward as youd think, all done now and as the insurance jobs have calmed doon I can get back on wi the LC whoo hoo, im waiting on my clutch casing back from NK as getting clear cover done, got an order of bits and bobs fae Norbo to bolt on so look out for some pics and some action soon, ive only managed tae spray the frame and the engine since ma last report, pic of the offending Aprillia, pain in butt tae work on but this bike would give a 250lc a run fort its money, well above 7k anyway haha, below that ya may as well get of an push haha, great fun though  |

Well thankfully work has calmed doon a bit and ive got back in the garage for some hours on the Hybrid over the last week, turned into a few hours every night for a week haha. Got the frame back from my pal that sprayed the bodywork for me and got busy rebuilding her up , wiring loom got a checkover and wee tidy up but was generally sound.refitted that and the airbox coil , front forks, wheels, rear end etc Engine barrels got done Matt Black (Simoniz Engine Enamel) Motor slotted back into the frame. 
Front forks got the wet an dry treatment as they were well horrible, bit oily hands in the pic but you get the jist 
Sprayed up the radiator and oil pump cover (Simoniz Gloss Black) The Side casings get done Gloss too!! The previous owner had hand painted these, took ages to sand doon to get rid of the brush strokes boo hoo, here they are drying nicely on ma pellet boiler. 
Arrived today my machined for a clear clutch cover casing , need to get painted. 
Next few nights hopefully get nickel plating my kickstart, side stand, cylinder head bolts etc Also need to polish up the standard hangers and refit em
