What a looker! What's left to do?

Carbs to finish off and fit, exhaust/downpipes to fit(virtually finished), brakes to be bled,  tank pipework to be finished & fitted.  I have an oil cooler but I need to fit the engine side plate with tapped holes in for pipes. Then road testing/ mot. That's about it really but time is my limiting factor now.  Ian

Aye Ian,

Now that is a real credit to you, blow trumpet, etc. You have the patience and perseverence of a Saint. Mine is still languishing and I shall now don ashes and sackcloth.  :-[

The colours work really well and I can see there being a request made for their use on the Mono. Is that a Ford metallic blue and may I ask what the code is for the frame colour? Thank you.

All the best and look forward to an update when convenient.

My regards, Bill

Hi Bill, many thanks for your kind words.
I believe the tank colour is Yamaha "purplish blue" I will find out for sure. The frame colour was actually made up by the powder coaters after seeing the silver on the original parts.
