Little more progress, Engine in, Clutch window finished, RD500 kickstarter modded to work with a RD350 knuckle (Thanks Jon) Bars fitted, brake lines fitted and all bled, Headlight is test fitted, it'll be a little lower, Clocks are mock fitted to get it all lined up, Wiring harness is ready to fit, Bunch of minor crap all done, Setback with the 36mm Lectrons, They are hitting the frame, they fit the YPVS frame no prob, But the RD frame is in the way, So ordered a new set of Genuine 35mm PWKs and get them in... More to come

Lovely work and great attention to detail, but I am in the undecided group regarding the headlight too. I like the idea of a modern twist and I am sure it would grow on me given time.

Personally think you need the bike fully assembled before you decide on headlight. Like alot of things once something's fully assembled things look completely different. As the lights so completely different to what we normally see on LCs , it's a personalized taste. Rest of bike looks Brilliant credit to all your hard work
