Thanks for the comments chaps. Almost done now, looking back through my own thread it's amazing where the time has gone. Didn't wanna get it painted in case I missed a bit of summer and now it's October already. I nicked the photo of his Facebook page as it has my bike in the background I'll pm you the seat guy details and next week we should be smokin!!

Looking good. Will be the nads with the tail unit on. Excellent stuff Tail unit on buddy don't say it should have left the tank on with it not yet mate leaving that pic untill it's finished lol :-) I've just made a mess lol Hahaha that's exactly what I was gonna say. That does look mahoosively sexy. I toyed with the idea of a different seat unit on mine and even bought one but kept it looking standardish. I might have to buy another project now to use it on OH MY

Thanks. Just got insurance pretty much organised for it today. The lc with all modifications declared and my tl1000r with yoshi cans for £360 fully comp. done through Peter James insurance as recommended on this forum. Bennetts wanted all the info then pictures of the mods before even being able to confirm they can cover me.

This guy reshaped my original seat and recovered it. It looks the dogs. Check it in my thread "350 lc hybrid build" by Slabsideian 07949 863488 I think his name is Ron. Tell him I recommended him to you.

Hi dusty thanks. He's only a few miles from me too. Thanks for that, I've seen his welding and it does look the nads. He reckons we should be at around 65 bhp. Looking forward to it!!!!

Well, the engines in, I've done a full bolt tighten up and the whole bike has gone back to Mark Dent for the pipes to be made. Also he's gonna sort out new throttle cables, wire new ignition and make/sort gear rod out for me. When he's finished doing that it will be running and finished (bar finished paintwork which I still can't decide on) GET IN!!!!!!!!! The plan is collect it, ride it, run it in and then decide and sort paintwork over winter. This is the final straight now and I am getting moderately excited. Hopefully a couple of weeks!!!

Thanks I intend to. I haven't ridden this since around 1992/3 I think so am really looking forward to the noise, the smell, the smoke and the wheelies haha we never grow up do we?

Thanks gentleman and yes, you are correct. It is a Mark Dent build. Gotta get the whole bike back to him when it's built for the exhausts. Get it going, run it in and ride it then decide on paint over winter. Hopefully will be on the road soon and will be completely finished by next year.

Well I never either. Just flicking through eBay and found my first ever bike for sale. Mz 50cc I bought brand new from jack nice in Walthamstow back in good ole 1989. I've messaged the seller showing an interest but he's gonna let the auction run. Would be stoopid to buy it but hey nostalgia kicked in. Especially as I still owned it when I bought my lc (which is nearly finished!!!!) Bless

Yep go and get it, apply to dvla for a v5. They will either send you one or write to you telling you the correct information. Then you'll know. I reckon you'll be lucky. Good luck

Clean your hamster cage out anyway, it stinks!! 0-0, disappointing but at least We're still well in it, bit like Rossi is still well in Moto gp!! If you ain't got anything positive to say-say nothing!! Create a new thread against it. Imagine if you were Portuguese!! ronaldo is supposed to be the best player in the world and he's done f&@k all apart from miss a penalty and a couple of sitters!! I'm patriotic and am used to disappointment but come on people, let's get it on!!
