Nearly Done. Just the seat and a few other little bits to go.

Only just spotted this. Absolutely love it. Are those standard shocks? If so, any reason why you haven't upgraded?. How far have you dropped the forks and how has it affected the handling?
The side panels look good, where are they from? Not a fan of exhaust wrap but it just about works here.
Sorry about all the questions but I like to know these things :D
 
Hello mate. Cheers. Sorry just seen your post. A lot of work but happy with her. The forks look good low but holy cow it’s twichy. Lifted them up now to about 10mm off being flush.

The side panels are from an se and I just cut the vents in.

Looks better with a seat on and changed the pipes. Those cheapo ones are just too loud. Jetted her properly and she runs like a dream after I rebuilt the motor. Starts instantly. Love her to bits!!

I’ll post a new pic of it all finished.
