And some more, mainly done now.

Did all the maintenance as well, oils, grease, filters, etc.

Had a lot of fun working on this. I've done a few old cars in my time, but it's refreshing to be able to do pretty much everything yourself on a motorbike, no need for heavy lifting.

Thanks boys! I reckon it's badass, goes like a fking missile.

Going to chop the tail down, the weight drags the plastics down a bit, shortening will sort it out.

Also need to do something about an aux tank, the way its ridden means it only gets about 100km to a tank.

Got some more black coming, just alloy caps and stuff. Not much more I can do, but that's good for riding time!

LOL. We have a wee 2t like that. The faster I make it go the more often we top up. Currently sitting below 120km's on an 11ltr tank before reserve.

It's amazing fun between petrol stops, though.

Braaaaaaaaap on.:headbang:

Oh, yeah, delicious bike you have.

11 litres! Mate you might as well be BP, I've struggling along on 8.5, who thought that was a good idea.

8.5 litres would be great my WR 450 holds 7.2 litres, a bit over 100 km's to the tank thanks to fuel injection.
Black and gold looks awesome, very very nice indeed.

Ha, was waiting for that. Made for short but extremely fun sprints.
