Custom tuned one. It does come with some goodies like rearsets. I'm using some other wheels from my stash. Those Hondas look beautiful mate. and I'm looking forward to my LC kit!

Rear end on. I am rather pleased with the shocks. This kit has surprised me, a choice of footrests, bars, rear shocks and levers too. Alex ps I now have another LC kit and a GPZ900 one too. Thanks Tim!

As it comes the headlight bowl As it is now drilled and removed the back fitted .8mm screws for the rim retaining ones Number plate holder as it comes Drilled and removed to replicate the real one The seat comes as a Japanese version so I had to remove the retaining strap and the pattern Painted to replicate the rubber bungs then the steel brackets and chromed nuts and the seat foam

It’s why my models take so fecking long to build as I’m to anal about the details. I used to build models like that as a kid. if i was doing a plane Id not only paint the pilot, but also the seat and the inside of the c**kpit, picking out things... no one could see em, but i knew they were there.

Blimey Tim. That is some serious detail, love it. And thanks! Alex It actually pisses me off Alex that I change all the bits, most of my kits have scale wire, correct hose size, I always use brass or alloy rod for spindles then use scale bolts etc It annoys me because it slows down build times no idea why I do it. Anally retentive f**ktard I guess 😳

Finished the Honda but waiting on some decals (not here yet Tim) so I'll get a pic later. Next one is a Hasegawa Kawasaki KH250. I had one aged 17 and loved it. Not sure if I should tweak it a bit with expansions or not...

I was thinking about modding the stock exhausts. Not really sure where to look for these as parts. One thing I have noticed is the Suzuki RGV race bike kit I have...the swinger is a almost identical to a Mito one. And as you know I want to make my LC kit a replica of my actual bike.
If Jon spots this I can make you one mate. What's the OZ version of Curly Wurlys?
