It's nice to know that my project has some interest ;D Still working most nights on it I've been removing all brackets that I wont need and making some to fit the battery in the tail unit and mount the R6 rad and rear light! All parts will be sent to the powder coaters this weekend which will then allow me to concentrate on the engine, I will be giving that a re-fresh with new rebore/hone and replace pistons! Nitron race shock is on order and I have the fabricated height adjusters from the states so should be able to fine tune the ride height and settings just right I will post up some more pictures when I get the chance

A little update! Frame, arm etc still at powder coating but thought I'd show some goodies that's going on. Engine is being re-built after lots of thought decided I didn't want to go through all this with really not knowing the condition of the cranks so all bores are having a re-fresh and cranks are going to be re-conditioned/re-placed. I will take some pic's of the engine dismantled soon! Mounted the R6 rad and managed to get the original fan to fit too
