    absolutely gorgeous! you must give flyboy Suzzan's(??) address so He can get his decals made.
    As soon as that gasket arrives, I will have more space to start on the brackets. I lapped that head and cylinder this afternoon so its ready and waiting!
    Well one thing is for sure that colour is unlikely to be on the road here and those Bagman bags most likely neither, thanks to you!

      Andre, It's highly unlikely you would see a bike like that over here as well. suffice it to say, it's probably the only one like it in the world.

      when are you going to send this picture to Craig Vetter?

        I am not exactly there yet. Once the luggage is installed I will call it a day and send him a picture.

              Thanks for the nice words guys!

              I finally got a new clutch and brake lever in black to replace the shiny ones when we were down in Cape Town a month ago. No-one noticed that!

                  Yeah, we did notice that, just like we noticed how the big bust blonde with the low cleavage had nice eyes.....

                      Thanks Ivor, it has been a long road to get to this stage I must say.

                        WOW!!! Really ... need I say more?


                        I'll try ... Andre, that is a spectacular job! Craig is going to be blown away, especially considering the extreme reverse engineering that went into the project! Kudos on your terrific work, Pal! I have no doubt the brackets will exceed the originals (whatever they once looked like, hehe!). Well done!!!

                        Regards,

                          Steve,
                          Thanks for the compliments, I started looking at the brackets today, but then someone dropped in for some help on his GSX1100 unfortunately.

                          I have a plan in my head at the moment for the brackets, but I still need to stare at it a bit.
                          Glad you like it!

                            Yay! My bracket is are nearly done. Just two struts to add and then have it powdercoated. Here is the last test fit:
