Great day here cold and bucketing down so i spent the day at my bench
almost there with is one great build i enjoyed building it not my first choice of bikes but i think it turned out quite well so far

That really looks fine. Great job on the yellow, not an easy colour to work with. Seat looks excellent as well.

Thanks Tim, yellow defiantly not the easiest since they removed all the nasty stuff. But pleased with the finish. Tank decal was the worst i have ever fitted hopefully it will settle down everything else was a breeze!!!

Nice work Simon. Lovely clean build. The backdrop gives it a kind of ‘Easy Rider’ quality.
All the best

What's your dip of choice? It looks to have done a thorough job without damage.
