          What a cool looking bike.
          Registration for street use? Sure looks like it would be fun on the track.

            Blower,
            You did a beautiful job on that 1150! Very, very, cool retro look.
            You have a special talent!

                    For street use. I shipped it from Sweden, so it needs to registrate to Finland.

                              I have just discovered this thread and I am completely astounded by the creativeness and workmanship. This has definitely given me something to aspire to. This is very similar to what I want to achieve with one of my projects.

                              I would love to see some videos of the bike on the road. Please, please, please.

                              Thank you very much for sharing.

                                Thanks for your positive feedback!

                                I got the license plate yesterday, so the project is finished (so far).
                                Bike feels stable at higher speeds and was fun to ride.

                                Fine tuning continues...
                                In the carbs are now 138 mains and needles raised to max.
                                I need to lower the needles a bit. Spark plugs was nearly black after highway riding.
