final push for the end, fitted the dash mount after removing the plastic coat, gave it a rub down with scotch brite for the brushed look. also now looks much better being inline with the h/lamp brackets then set about fitting the LED indicators, once they were on and wired in i re fitted the h/lamp, checked it all worked and took some more pics. going to sort the rear indicators, re fit the tail piece and connect the fuel later tonight.

Hi Steve great build. How did you widen the frame at swinging arm point ? Who did you use for the plastic coating ?

Hi Steve great build. How did you widen the frame at swinging arm point ? Who did you use for the plastic coating ? I used a hydraulic jack to spread the frame, only needed to spread it around 1cm. all my powder coating is done by RNR coatings of west tanfield near Ripon

didnt manage to get the rear indicators fitted as i need to get/make a mounting bracket for them, but as i have no idea of how large the registration plate will be i am looking at 1) make temp brackets 2) get an adjustable mount from the bike store 3) not bother for now!
more i think about it, and for completions sake, i think i will go with option 2 that way it is done and dusted. as i didnt finish the rear end, i sorted the fuel feed from the tank to carbs instead, have now got it all sealed and bolted in place with fuel hose fitted, will try some fuel in the tank tonight to make sure there are no leaks.

A very nice build you've done there, I be very happy if that was mine. One very small point. I look at putting a grommet in the hole on the clock mount that the wiring goes through before you get any chaffing problems.

cheers for that bluedog, the dash wires are no where near the edge of the hole they come through, and they are fixed into the dash and cant move, so i see no future problems mate, but thanks for the heads up anyway

went out today and found an R&G tail tidy that with a little bit of adapting fitted rather well, cleaned up the rear end nicely. fitted the indicators, got them working and re fitted the tail and seat. took her outside in the setting sun to get some pics, light wasnt very good, i will get some more when the light is better.
