So after a rewire, ceramic clutch, HPN fairing/cockpit & lamp, Fastway pegs/guards, uprated alternator, starter motor, HPN "floating" rear brake, remote GPS aerial, etc. etc. over the last year, the time has come to indulge Lara with the ar*e of something a bit younger 
...thanks Steptoe

I'm still going to run the 18" rear wheel which is being rebuilt onto an 1100 hub. It looks like the Q-tech subframe will still fit but a new trick shocker has been made by WP complete with an appropriate
spring. I'm sure we'll run up against a few hiccups but so far so good. All the bits coming off her are already spoken for with a second dibs.
Alas I'm not an engineer/technowhiz but having heard so many "tales" of this conversion being done I've decided to share the project's progress as it happens. I'm paying a friend, who built my Dakar bike, to do this work and so obviously any questions asked on this thread will be answered here....but they might take a few days - visiting hours you understand .
Lara before her latest surgery.
