I think that the side panels will still fit on....but will need some trimming down at the back end. Swing-arm still needs tidying and respraying.I also need to sort out the exhaust as i want something really short...similar to something on a buell or kwaka er 650 where the can finishes under the engine.

Hi. Made a little more progress this weekend,with the framework and the seat-pan. Will try and get some pics on later. After different attempts to make some kind of neat design that would tie the rear end of the frame with a decent styled seat-pan....this one seems to be the best I can come up with. Piccies soon.

Ive bought a stubby end can from ebay. Brand new, just £40. The guy didnt want it cuz it was orange. I kind of like it.  Also did a dummy run with the tail light fitted
