Looking good 
Our shed built rig is still on its way to the Nordkapp at the moment, on Gert's charidee mate run.
He's due back at the end of the month and I'll grab copies of any pics he has and take some of the rig in use up there
I know one thing he was pleased that we did was to fit a split charge system with a small leisure battery mounted on the sidecar......He's running an LED floodlight on a collapsible fishing pole type setup off it, so when they camp up every night, they can have decent lighting from the bike but no risk of a flat primary battery in the morning

i hope to have black wheels,i can't justify the expense of having them rebuilt with nice stainless spokes at the moment so will probably have to settle for vapour blasting and spraying(with slightly rusty spokes).That's looking really nice. Are the wheels going to be coated black too? That would look brilliant
the budget for the rebuild is not huge so its better to spend the money on the essentials;bearings,brakes ,shocks etc,etc.
i can always swap the wheels at a later date
