Well if you're off out just now, watch out for flash thunderstorms.
We've just had an absolute howler in leicester.

Bit tricky right now, I have a Tiger cub nearing completion, and another one in boxes not started yet, plus an M600 engine needing a strip down just to tidy it up, and my wife keeps asking me when I,m going to clean the windows.

Ahhh.... windows shmindows. Surely she sees the beauty and artistry in your work.

Not really, she thinks that at 73 years of age I should know better. I know I will grow up one day, I just need more time.

She can't see the beauty of the bikes through the dirty windows!

Grow up??????? utter rubbish.. who says you have to , I certainly do not intend to!

Nice job

Really like all the little neat touches like alloy frame bungs

30-06-2012, 06:48 PM

Very nice that, well done.
I also have one of those fender extenders and intend to fit it for the same reason that
you have as I believe the good outweighs the bad.

Can I ask you where you had the seat recovered?

Very tidy looking bike, great detail.

Reminded me of my s4. Well done sir. I like it too. I dont like fender extenders but have one on my 1100s but it had already started chipping stones. Mind you the new monster ones are a lot shorter. I respect you for your work.

30-06-2012, 11:02 PM

i want them frame plugs! they home made or bought?

01-07-2012, 12:01 AM

I made the frame plugs, and the seat was re covered by Lee of Viking Vinyl in Ash, Kent, after reading a recommendation by a member on this forum. £75. Plus postage both ways, I,m really pleased with that seat job.
