So after much procrastinating and general fannying around, the bike's (almost) set to go.

Big thanks to Riff raff for actually doing the work.

Yesterday, I chucked the monster sprocket on and lengthened the chain, reassembled all the body work that had been painted and kicked the thing in the guts. Due to Deano and his lovely wife staying for the weekend, I haven't had a chance to practice as I'm nursing a two day long hang over.

But here's the before and after pics.

Mint.

lol @ LB!

Looks good WT, are you still going to ride it on the road? Seems you are as you still have all the legal crapola on it. Oh yeah, nice job on the tank, looks quite tidy!

53-tooth sprocket. Dunno how much the sprocket was - I'm sure WT will tell you when he's finished in the kitchen.

Paint job I did cost $52 all up - 1 wire brush, 3 cans of matt black spraypaint, 1 can of black engine enamel, 2 panadol for fumes induced headache and 2 plasters for blisters on each index finger.

Hey trashy congrats, looks good. I am sure it will look even better on one wheel. Why did you bash the tank in? for highchairs or standingon?

Nah mate - it would have been if it had been done the way WT and The Hippie wanted to do it - ie don't dismantle and just spray the f#$^ out of it.

Got enough paint left for touch ups to keep her looking beautiful (not!)

Thanks Jono - at least someone out there appreciates all the hard work I put into it.

The burnout was done when some pissed hippie discovered the key was still in it in the wee hours of Sunday morning. The ratty almost ended up doing a crash test through Mr Me's garage!!

Black, sexy... I don't see a 12 bar (is that what they're called?) Surely that plate can't hold the weight of the bike?

You forgot to paint the flames on!!

But it's definitely a big improvement over the old paint job.
