    outstanding work as per usual Ben. Can only give you 2 thumbs up coz thats all i got [not an inbread hillbilly you know].Love the brushed alloy look to the paint, so much i used the idea a couple of weeks ago for a mates bike in red. Pheonix might not sound like a good name but it did rise from the ashes.

    I can only think of one quote that will do it justice.

    "that'll do donkey, that'll do.."

    I wish my bike turned out half as nice as that......maybe if I keep it I will do a complete tear down and rebuild 100% quality next time......this time around was a quick rebuild/remodel just to see if I could do it lol

    Sweet ass bike, love the exhaust!!

    Fimp and i headed down to Bens shop on Saturday for a look at Venom. You have to see it in person, the pics just dont do it justice. Beautiful. It has that perfect fighter stance and even the german tail looks just right. The thing that struck me was the build quality. My comment was every build he does, gets that little bit closer to factory quality. Have a good look at the radiator setup.

    And the SOUND! made my TL sound boring.

    Fantastic work mate.

    Anyone who is in the market for a true 'custom special' , do yourself a favour and either buy this beastie (i wish i fucking could!)or get Ben to build you your dream. He is without doubt the best custom builder in Australia.

    Ben, just giving credit where it is due mate.

    I think your light unit looks right fimp. Especially once you remount the Veypor and it fills in the upper cavity(and fix your compass!). Your TL looks great on the road mate. The Road Warriors Cafe at 9am with a wide selection of Ducs, spanking new ZX10s Gixxers etc. and what has the crowd around it??? A ten year old TL fighter still covered in oil. I miss my fighter................

    Guess what, i got home today and my front fairing had fallen off. IMAGINE THAT.

    Just for maintenance purposes i assure you...................

    Whats the deal on the lower bolt on bars of the subframe? are they custom fabbed or are they some sort of tierod thing you can buy? It seems like a REALLY good idea.

    Thanks for the offer mate but I'm going to try something a bit different - Going to work some Solid Works magic design my own headlight fairing unit, get a rapid prototype of the part (I deal with a guy and I can get the part done cheapish - cheaper then a UK import part) and fibreglass over that. Going to use Bandit projector lights as the basis.
