- just wanted to say that this is gotta be my favorite build I've seen on this board so far. Just the right combination of grit, muscle, and gloss that makes this bike so PRO.

Cheers! Good to know people think im on the right track. Did a bit of test riding this afternoon... Didn't realize just how thirsty the pig is... Had to rescue Chris (ran out of gas) at least the sun was out.

That's funny. Sorry for the rescue, but the bike is sweet action to say the least.

As far as the header wrap I really like it and think it adds to the aggressive look. It also is a good retro look in the mix. I've seen guys paint it and like that, but my favorite approach is to paint the white wrap with black but not cover the whole pipe neatly. Solid from the top and faded into the wrap as it goes down the pipe. Just making it look used and faded.

There is black wrap as well, it's something I am thinking of using on my pipes if I can't get the dents out....

And a very sweet ride this bike has turned out to be....

Nice tires!!!

Maybe you're over-jetted... thought you'd at least be getting 32-35mpg on that thing!

Went for a good ride today and found that my jetting is not right, spent a few painfull hours re jetting... It's close now but not perfect so I'll work on it some more during the week. As far as the performance and handling go it has far exceeded my expectations, without even pushing it, it out performs my previous setup by a COUNTRY MILE!!!!

This is the exhaust paint style I was talking about:

I agree, those pipes do look awesome! Not quite the look I'm after, but I have some bobber mates who might be all over that idea. I'm just gonna let my heat wrap dirty up naturally.

That's the ticket...

Haven't posted any updates in the last week, been busy and have only been doing the really boring things like fitting indicators, checking and double checking everything is tightened up properly and various other bits and pieces.

Had to modify the muffler cause it was WAY to loud to pass a warrant of fitness test, had to shift the muffler a bit too cause it was hitting the ground on right hand corners!

Did manage to take it out on a proper ride at the weekend, nothing fell off ( including me) and it rode and handled unbelievably well... So stable yet incredibly responsive to quick direction changes. I think it's a bit of a fluke but I've achieved a spot on balance of performance and stability.

Managed to sort out a number plate light after a couple of failed attempts, here's a photo of it (not illuminated) will put up a photo of it lit up tomorrow after it wired in.


And here's a couple of shots of my indicators

Here's what the number plate looks like illuminated... Not very exciting!!! Just another boring bit of progress in the journey to road legalness...

Hey it doesn't need to be exciting if it works properly. Good job.

I just gotta share this pic with ya, cause yours is the inspiration for my build.
