I know! I thought long and hard but this build is costing a lot of money already and isn't going to be ridden hard, just a sunday cruiser so I don't need the ultimate stuff really.

Here's the yoke, it's got a definite curve to it but the fork area is flat as is the stem hole. Shame, just got it powder coated!

It's a nicely made bit of kit but I don't like the way the batter looks sitting there really. If there was a fibreglass cover or something that hid the battery it would be perfect but I just don't...

I intend to keep the airbox to keep that engine shape. As you say, I think it looks weird without and I'm not keen on those bikes where the battery is just bolted in place of the airbox. I reckon...

I've been thinking about soda blasting. You can leave the engine fully assembled and it's pretty safe stuff, rinses off with water and not too abrasive. Seems to leave a nice finish and I've been...

I've got an r80 TIC in the garage and I'm currently scramberling it. Was thinking about fitting a smaller headlight to get a nicer front end, this would entail moving the fusebox out and...

It's got a 10 stamped on the barrels. I guess that means it got the 1000 barrels, sounds like its got a bigger engine than I thought!

Only got two coils at the mo, one for each 'live' plug.
