The rear is from a Honda xlv750 took me ages to find a wheel that would fit!

Getting rid of all the plastic, and fitting another tank.

Loads more stuff to do when I get the time.

That will be cracking mate. Did you ever see the flat track bikes Honda built for the US races?
They used CX500 lumps turned sideways with chain drive. I cant remember where I saw the pics now, though.

With an engine in there, rather than a hair dryer, that could be fun.
