    A few small updates from this weekend. Continuing with the success of the steering limiter attention was paid to the handlebar area, bar end mirror, gauge wiring and fork brace etc. I've got a new Pingel Petcock valve to fit too... I hear these are quite good.

    Today we built up the rear brake master cylinder, managed to get loads of new parts from CMSNL (www.cmsnl.com) ...excellent recommendation!

    Any ideas which way the Micron brace is meant to be mounted? I've always thought front facing, but am now having doubts??

    Saving up for new disks and callipers now and I've got some great ideas for some subtle tank decals

      Sorted out my cleaning equipment this morning, Doris is due a 'detail' as we approach the end of the build phase..... OCD anyone!!

      Worryingly this is only about 75% of what I have :S

            Too much chrome and shine for my personal taste, but still an awesome bike. Great build.

              That is one stunning bike, congratulations and well done! I hope my build looks that good, I am really tempted to start a thread, but it is early days yet for me. This is great inspiration though.

                    No, man! You nailed it with this build! The "bling" is working! I only hope mine is HALF as nice as yours!

                        What are you trying to do? Blind the speed cameras. Just kidding. They will look real nice!

                              Those brakes look awesome, they will look fantastic with the rest of the bling. Complete opposite to mine, I have gone Matt black.
