    OK, here is the last of the photos.

    I was really happy with the decals, I ordered them online at http://www.xtreemedecals.com. The cool thing was you could choose the colours to match the bike, nice! They were delivered in less than a week. Good shit





    The back end.



    Frount end



    This is the frount on view, nice and generic/discreet. Just the way I like it



    And so endith the photos, project done!

    Project 2, the race bike is lurking in the closet, and the filing cabinets, with the motor up Kati Kati way being built! Bring it on!

    It actually went really well, though it definitely pays to check absolutely everything is working. I came to the last thing, that being the fan. As everything was working, I almost did not test it, the wires looked good. I had this nagging little voice saying to test, so I did. I started the bike and just let it idle at about 3.5k revs till the temp gage went right up, then turned it off, no fan, huh? I touched the terminal connected to the radiator, and WHIR it went. Turns out it was the old broken connector in the rubber boot trick. I had three looms to choose from and noticed all 3 had damage to the radiator cables in some form or another. So I was really careful to route the wiring away from harm
    Indeed it was a shocking experience

    Great effort, and shows what you can do with fuck all money but a lot of hard work.

    Hope you're painting the race bike with the same scheme. It looks fantastic.

    Dude that is absolutely brilliant ! Well done on that Sir, a fine looking machine !

    Most enjoyable read i've had on here for eons !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Nice bike mate. Is it fast?
    I've spent my money on bikes, booze and babes. The rest I've wasted....
