    Ok, so here's me being a big nerd. The bike now has a name... "Gauntlet". I'm a warhammer 40k nerd and after reading heaps of Dan Abnett's work found the Gaunts Ghosts series. Need less to say I fucking LOVED it! Brilliant read and anyone who's even remotely interested in Sci-fi or Warhammer should read it. So the idea is to build the bike as the main character's (Colonel-Commisar Ibram Gaunt) personal bike. I wrote to Dan Abnett telling him what I was doing and he rekons it's cool, so keep and eye here for more nerdy updates.

    Thanks Rod, yeah for some reason I just wasn't receiving the emails. I just put it down to teething problems, Si was on the case pretty quick and got me sorted. Big thumbs up to all involved in this MAMMOTH task, would be good to see more thanks for these guys instead of whinging though.

    Im interested to know whats involed with the Busa arm.

    I have a Gen1 arm spare but have also been looking at
    a Busa wheel in a Bandit arm on Ebay.

    Busa arm looks beefy but its heavy!

    Will watch this with interest Mate.

    Ok, been playing with the tail. Here it is at full length. Took about 100mm out of it.


    Get the cut off bit in position and add expander foam to hold it. Add more to sides to fill the gap and sculpt.


    More sculpting


    You need a good eye to get the lines to match up.


    I don't have a very good eye, so Mrs Fish the artist of the house came to my rescue.


    Once foam is sculpted, add body filler.


    Be aware that this shit goes off pretty fucking quick... as in by the time you have it mixed to a "uniform colour".


    More filler on.


    From the back.

    So here's how she stands at the moment. The bandit swinger et al. is out. Need to take a little off the busa swingarm to fit it in as well as machine up a few new spacers. The carbs and airbox are out to fit the busa shock and are also awaiting the mikuni RS40s and associated pod filters. The tail section is requiring more filling and sanding etc then a mold will be made for to be making the new tail section.



    Peace out
