There has been no professional work done on this apart from the obvious Powder coating and Reboring.This Bike has been a joint and shared Project between My brother in Law Pete and Myself.Ive done the Engineering side and Pete did the fantastic Paintjob.We are sharing this bike as we have gone halves on It.Only a Biker knows why a Dog sticks Its Head out of a car WindowComment

We havent totted it up yet,but yes lets say it tested my Wifes patience.Originally posted by Mel Wainwright View Post Once We had started it looked too good to cut corners,so We said if it cost £2000 thats a £1000 each,so could you buy a Bike like that for a Grand?...well thats what We convinced Ourselves.The Proof will be in the Riding.

It has turned out VERY nice! You do realize it is NOT a Katana, though, right? Very big transformation.
