    I must be honest, I wasn't liking it towards the end, final product however is very nice, like the colour and look forward to (possibly) seeing it S100 week!

    Well, finally got this all rewired so only a couple more small jobs and she will be fully running.

    Previous owner had obviously had some serious fun with the wiring as nothing matched the factory wiring diagram and they had even swapped wires on the generator :roll: Made getting a spark interesting :x

    Needed to make up a dash binnacle to hold the ignition switch, idiot lights and a small digital speedo so have ordered one of these

    Which will be trimmed down and fitted where the old handlebar mounts are

    Also got some graphics made up for the front number board

    SO not long now and i should be able to get a video of it running! :hello1:

    Does look very smart indeed, almost too good to ride, I guess it'll be sunny/dry days only!!

    It will be ridden very rarely as i dont have a licence for it! :oops: Idea is to maybe take it to some shows over the summer. It was more to keep me out of mischief/pub :lol:

    The trike will be my baby to ride round on once its built. 8)

    Well the bike is now running! Took it for a trundle round the driveway the other night. Am going to have to move the rear sets as they are not comfy but already working on that. Also just ordered a replacement fuel tap as this one doesn't turn off properly which means a nice pool of petrol under the bike overnight :(.

    Spoke to a local bike garage about a daylight MOT and all i need to add from where she is now is some brake lights, rear reflectors and a number plate so will be making a side mount detachable plate and light holder. Also got a bit bored the other night so started to knock up a little site (in my sig) for the old girl and add a QR tag to the back of the bike ;-)

    Also after hearing it running it really does remind me of that crazy frog thing from a few years back :shock: :lol:

    Well, needs a bit of tuning up but its alive 8) Running a slightly richer mix than usual as i thought better to as she has been sat for about 6 months. Excuse the quality but it was shot on my phone :oops:

    Fitted a tank protector to it today. Was looking at carbon ones but thought that would be too much so settled for something a little fun ;)
