I'm impressed. Initially I suspected this bike was going to be a pipe dream but now that you are getting parts and fabbing them up I'm excited to see where you go with this. I'm in til the end.

Obviously I like what you're building as you can see by my 82 750

Thanks guys , I am getting more items together , hope to get the engine in soon as I need to make the engine mounts from scratch after doing some templates

[busaash]

from a previous build i made some chinese k8 mirrors and some gs500 mirror mounts , this is a maybe use on the build but not sure yet .
i do like the new and the old look so it will be a maybe

i needed to make the bandit 1200 loom fit the gs frame and with that in mind , i bought a genuine battery box as its behind the side panels .
my idea was to fit starter relay ecu , fuse box flasher relay here , so made a few alloy brackets these will be powder coated later

got my shocks with the 20mm screw in extensions on to get an idea of the look (small sticker to make me smile, a cheat but for my amusement)

trying to run before i can walk , exhaust is going to be a thorn in my side but i have a friend who can do me a one of link pipe .
