Thanks Guys, appreciate the positive feedback.
Marsbar, I want to see how it rides too! Need to get it registered (MOT) before unleashing it on the roads.

Fantastic looking bike, love your attention to detail and the way you have thought about the overall build all the way though rather than throwing a load of parts together and hoping for the best.

Hi,
Last week I borrowed a number plate off another bike and took it for a quick spin around the block. Damp road, new brake pads and new tyres made it interesting around corners but it has some getup in a straight line. I limited revs to 5k but it was keen to rev higher. Still needs lots of tuning and sorting of carbs and suspension but I'm still wearing a big grin from the ride.
Here's some pics of it finally finished and on display at a local bike show.

Yet another build thread read from start to finish. And, as usual I'm gobsmacked. All the bikes on this forum are built to such a high standard it sometimes beggars belief, and about 99% of the work is all done by the owner. This is another one..stunning, simply stunning and a real credit to you. Wasn't sure about the fairing but it looks perfect on the bike, almost like it was a factory option. Fantastic work!

It's taken me a while to sort out the carb jetting and re-learning a lot in the process. I'm pretty happy with it now although still running the bike in. Done 400kms and nothing fallen off so far. Here's a YouTube of it running.
Out for a test run
