Nice build. :up:

Given the installed angle, it might be a good idea to check to see how bright the taillight is from the viewpoint of drivers behind you.

[quote="buzzer"]Well its almost finished... I have been up the road on it today and it runs a treat. first time its been ridden since 1986!

I'm doing a T500 cafe racer.
I'm fitting expansion chambers and wondering what jetting you used?
Mu bike bogs down over 4000rpm.

BTW thats a lovely looking bike you've created. I'm envious.
