Oooh, verrry nice So how do you go about getting it registered ? Does it have to be a "Q" plate or is there a way of getting it on a normal reg ? Dusty

Nice one Steve, this will be a cracker
I imagine you already have a picture in your mind how it will eventually look, forks, wheels, brakes clocks etc.
The closest I can imagine is along the lines of the XR69 Harris job but really looking forward to this one bud.

I'm gonna love watching this evolve I've always wanted to build something like this. After seeing the Saunders and Lewis framed Gt750 down the road from me, I've always loved the idea of something like it. And I think that is a good deal for a brand new frame and tank, and swingarm. Sure, it will be an expensive build, but it will be fairly unique as a road going special - not many people will ever have seen one in the flesh. Really good to have a change of scenery regards bike building - you'll really enjoy the new challenge Dusty

Dusty That is feckin gorgeous π I'll be keeping the leckie start too, one of the best bits lol The bike was advertised as a 73 K but frame number starts 22 so may be a 72 J Engine starts 32 so that says K Suzuki will no doubt enlighten me when I get them to date it for registration Steve
