TL1000s Fighter

[Revolution]

Hi all, been an avid fan for ages, finally can post my finished bike..

My TL1000s build...

I took on a basket case to transform and turn into something I could ride in anger, yet still park up in public and be proud of what I had built.

This is is how I got it.

All was sent away for powder coating...

Then a full engine strip and build.

Personally I think it looks mental..
No pointless eye candy, every component is minimal and does its job.
Lots of hours gone into this build, trying to get things to look right yet still work.

Just needs some final snagging for the MOT..(being a tester helps.)

Thanks for taking the time to view, see you out there lads...
