Well,the body is starting to come together,i have accquired most of the bits i need,the front end is only cable tied on at the mo,will fit it properly when i have the 750 engine in it,think it should look quite good when its eventually finished......

well done Ade,

personally.....just me being picky :paranoid:

INHO of course....
I recon the tail section looks too long...overhangs too far and spoils the balance.....nowt wrong with the concept

then again, it might look totally different when the tank and seat are in situ...giving a little more height

i'll crawl back into me skip now :blush: :paranoid: :paranoid:
