Well if you did does this remind you of anyone?

I was mocking up the indicator brackets and had a funny thought...

They won't work very well with vertical orientation, but I thought they looked funny.

If you stroke it more than twice; you're playing with it.

Thanks lane. Of course the beam patterns are a little vertical which might pose a slight problem.

Nice "Elsified" RD.

Why does it look so sad? Not ridden enough? maybe it knows you love another (bike) more.

Dave,

I'm not sure how to interpret that comment.

Is it because it spends all its time in what looks like a refuse tip? :oops:

Or because it will clean up? :roll:

or because it is fast, smart and adaptable.. yeah right. :lol: :lol:

BTW, the wiring is starting to come together, but I need to order either an Acewell, Koso or TrailTech Vapor soon.

The numberplate is an old race plate bent with heat from a plastic welding gun (hot air) and a wooden block. Easy stuff. At the moment it is fitted with a patented light weight, Q/D retention system aka masking tape.:lol:

Next item of business will be cables and when the crank comes back I'll have to start cutting the ports.

So much work, so little money.......

BTW did you notice the genuine TR750 (look) radiator?
