you can change the view with the control in the top left - makes it marginally easier to scan the pics if you select "flipcard"

That looks like a Ducati 900SS style fairing & seat unit...

It does need spoke wheels though...

Just sent my Bits and bobs off to be painted ,, Black..
Dunno how it will turn out , But i am hedging my bets , i am painting
Two tanks , and making the Bikini Firing a quickish detach item ,,
Got the Engine detailing almost finnished , Absolute Hoor of a job , had to wait until "" The Garage "" { A F***ing fortnight !! }were using Alloy Etch Primer . It can only be bought in Liter measures , and i didnt want the Hassle of mixing and cleaning .

Aye , Looks Grand . But i dont like the way the seat doesnt go over the rear wheel , Sorta Suzi TLR style , I prefer a longer seat base..

Whats your thoughts on the Acewell/VApour , Johns link shaved 50% off the Price for a Same/similar item for sale in UK ,,

I'm getting into the cast wheel look. unfortunately you are stuck with Cast wheels for the Monos

Yup, you're right... In 'all black' they look pretty good.

You're not kidding. Took me hours and hours to do the last one

I don't know anything about them. Flip had one on his bike, they seem a little plasticky though. I was thinking of this one for my next project

Not so sure now though.

I really like the 'black wheels/black tyres' look and that coupled with everything else being black other than the bodywork /engine works really well. Emphasises that strip down 'engine and two wheels' look.
The more I keep looking at it the more I like it - a lot!

Yes, but reliability would go out the window

How do you get the casting to come up looking so new..... do you have some form of dry ice blaster or even a shot blaster?

Phosphoric acid wash on the crankcases and vapor blast on the heads and barrels before ultrasonicslly cleaning. Satin powder coat on the black bits and nitromors with a fine paintbrush on the detail to lift the powder before polishing. Takes hours and hours to do. You then put the engine in a bike and take it off road

Krauser heads at least you'll hear it coming rattle rattle rattle

Hmm, I wonder if he has a spare engine as I'd love a Guzzi powered GS.
