    Workshop? Its an operating theatre

  • Quickly chucked the thing back together (there will be a lot if stripping down and building back up) to have a look at the effect of the frame cut. I'm more than happy   

  • Another bit of mesh to tie things up a little (probably have a small bit on the rear hugger if and when I acquire one). Mesh and mudguard will both be black &#13

bike is looking good, The bike looks complete but now its those niggly bits that take ages to do and you feel nothings moving along

I'm pleased with it generally but still loads to do

Remake the rear subframe to allow the lightweight (but large) battery

Make the tail unit undertray (not looking forward to that as it will need rolling and bending)

Full wiring loom

Full exhaust system 

then the little jobs that takes ages start !!!

I'd love to still follow this but currently it's sat in my workshop with a blanket over it. Been a hectic year with racing season on us. 

I'm need to get the rear subframe made then it should be full steam ahead
