Nice, very nice! From what I can see that black looks nice, two thumbs up......... If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay to powder coat it? I know your not in the states and I'm sure prices vary wildly but I'll have an idea. In £ is fine, I'll look up the exchange rate. Good luck on that build!

Cheers Felipe. the coating cost me £250 that was for frame, wheels,yokes and the rearsets and a few other bits and bobs

Here's what I managed to get done on Sunday...

now waiting for swingarm bearings and bitubo suspension to arrive, routing the loom was a bit of a pain - good job I'd taken loads of pics and tagged the connections

Got a bit done last night - bitubo on (think I've mounted the reservoir correctly

) swing arm on at last. Going to finish of the front end next, need to order a new ignition switch BEFORE I put on the top yoke.....

If you don't mind having mismatched keys I've probably got an ignition switch you can have. Let me see what I've got and if I can find one with keys its your for postage.

Thanks snowblind but I think I'd prefer to go 'shiny new' in case I end up with the same problem later. Thanks for the offer though:hail

May be for the best. I've found the lock which is in pretty good nick but I'm damned if I can find the keys that go with it.

Good job man! Looks like you'll have it sorted in no time. Be a brand new bike when you get done with it. I really do like the way that frame looks and it looks like you know what your doing. You'll probably beat me back on the road. I gotta get a new engine. It sucks to. I have a beautiful 100% complete bike with an engine that locks up every 5 minutes. I can't wait to get on her. Right now it's just a money thing but hopefully I'll have it sorted soon. Just gotta grow me some more money.
