Hoping to get some form of rear subframe at the back, not sure yet if to add full diaganol belts or just lapstraps. Either way the rake is set correct on the frame if I go up with it.

Having a play. these are not the final bars, need to come further back. rear seats may not be too high when im done, especially as they fold flat when not in use .... ?
Trying to lose 70lbs now to compensate for the weight of those rear seats (and maybe live a little longer!)

Spent a little more time on the build. As I have run out of dosh for steel, Im working on things I can. Exhaust reformed and fitted and the carb is turned and manifold opened up to suit and fitted (waiting for gasket material to finally fit). Now ive started on the radiator mount at the front and the angle grinder bushes have worn out! - new bushes ordered. Has anyone ever fitted a fuel level sender to a bike petrol tank  |

You can buy aftermarket fuel caps for Harleys with a gauge built into them.

Did a little more and mounted the fan in front of the rad. The plan is all this will be behind a swoopy perforated metal thingy

Altered the angle of the Carb to 45 degrees and lowered it, this allows for my knee (i am sat quite forward) and is low enough and out enough to clear the petrol tank

Managed to route the exhaust to central and run it under th prop, this makes it the same height off the ground as the sump and diff - it is tight though, and to remove the prop the exhaust will need to come off .. hmmm ...
