    +1 for Maxim-X, but possibly mounted a little lower to the tire. Great work so far Wiz, can't wait to see the finished project!

    me too, but i would have made it a bit longer. (about an inch in front and half in back).

    Maybe it's because it would look more like the one i have on the maxim...

    Like the original version best it is going to be a beefy bike even with extreme weightloss dont want that guard to look spindly in comparison.

    Fender Mk 2, if I cut any more off I'll be in a fender free zone.
    Bike starting to look a lot sharper sans air box.

    Sweet! Still needs to come down about 1/4" off the tire IMO but looking real slick!

    Wired up combo tail, stop plate & turn signals light.
    Moved the dis'board from the side to the rear of the battery carrier & the starter relay to the front, caused a mega amount of re-wiring.

    It's a big experiment, Al, but it's shaping up.
    Just heard about that Kiwi decapitating himself with a homemade hovercraft, what you guys doing over the ditch ?

    He wasn't decapitated... Fan blew off the thing and stoved in the back of his head... Nasty and sad. Guy was only 40 and left behind 3 kids.


    This project is looking great... I've decided to ratbike a spare 900... So come summer time, I'll be up to my ears in a new project too... Now I just have to get my hands on a wielder

    I like the coloured highlights on the engine to match the frame, that's a great eye catcher
