The deal is done

[Sgt Bilco]

That looks really good Mutters but fuck me, that seat doesn't look too comfy

It is sweet, and I guess the best bit, it is exactly what you want..... no compromises on Standard New Tin from a Dealer.

Building this kind of thing is always a compromise, unless you start with an incredibly clear picture of what you want or a bottomless pit of money. If I'd drawn a picture of the bike I was trying to build at the start this is close but not exactly it. Every decision changes something else. For example I decided to start with a satin black finish on the engine, and this was before I'd ordered any cycle parts. It led to me buying plain, but gloss black, controls. To keep the minimum number of finishes that means I had gloss black frame, bars, forks and wheels. That then limits your paint voice as a bright tank would look odd on an essentially black bike .........

I'm very happy with it, as it turns out, but I can already see little things that I'll probably change already. There's a couple of big things I'd like to change but cost prohibits at the moment.

Just need to see the seat on now, to see how the lines flow through from the Tank..

Ask all you like, I have no idea and no intention of adding it up ��

 

[Tricky]

Good that told him.

Jackass knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.

 

[jackassdave]

i know the value of style its some have it and some dont and some will never have it

Don't be so hard on yourself.

Good plan, I think the final tally might well be a bit upsetting

 

[Mutley]

For everyone that was so concerned, the seat should be completed in the next couple of weeks

We need a video of it running...

Just waiting for the carb to come back from the sonic cleaner, we got it to fire but it wouldn't run.

Fire in the hole!
