Love it all bar the blue chain. Couldn't be doing with cleaning it all the time ;-). Love the suede seat. Where did you get it done?? Seriously I don't usually like the black ones (oo er) but that is beautiful!!!

Cheers for all the comments, to answer some questions
The headlight brackets were made by Nigel at NK Racing Seat was recovered in alcantara by a car upholstery place in Chobham, surrey, cant remember their name front forks were re-valved and re-sprung by Maxton and they made a rear shock from scratch to 4LO dimensions all set up for my weight
Bike started out as a very tatty non matching 4LO, which I had tuned, but the thing was completely unrideable, nothing and I mean nothing below 8000rpm then it just rev'd until you shut the throttle! She has grown into this with a tuned (i think by terry Beckit) Valve engine, V force reeds and Mark Dent stainless pipes. She makes 66rwhp on the dyno.
She handles so well, just puts such a huge smile on my face, she was finished last April and along the way several times I nearly just dropped a match in the tank out of desperation!! So many things went wrong, but I have met a lot of great people who know their stuff along the way, I'm so glad I stuck with it.
Also i have a standard matching numbers 4LO, but I am tempted to get a 31k as well.
Cheers all and have good Christmas's
Mouse

Hi Stunning build Mouse, really like that. You must be localish to me if you know Chobham and Sunbury. I'm in Ashford. I've seen Mark Dent's work before and it is quality. Did he do the pipes ? Dusty

Oops, just re read your opening thread, Mark Dent stainless pipes !! Dusty Hi Dusty yes, Mark Dents pipes, great guy and the pipes work brilliantly. They make 10bhp more @ 9000rpm than my first set [first pic] but 2bhp less at peak, as the old pipes peaked at 11750rpm and Marks peak at 9750rpm, so much better. Yes, local, I live in Weybridge Cheers Mouse

Hi Mouse, Just up the road from me then ! Hag and Jay country ( if you remember them !!) Dusty Yes, used to know Hag quite well, not seen him for ages though, believe he has written a few novels and now runs some sort of self help practice! Don't think he is still into bikes, shame as he built some really fantastic specials, nearly bought his Harribox from him once mouse

I remember reading about those boys. I did scan and post it somewhere. Think it's under old magazine scans

Hi, I only met Hag a couple of times. I knew Jay better as I was at college in Egham for a year with him. Haven't seen either of them for years.

Fantastic looking bike - hope mine ends up half as good. Like the pipes but I wonder if they hide the beautiful swingarm too much?
