That looks nice mate

Thanks, I'm really liking the way its turning out.

Think I'm mostly done with wiring now. Still a bit of a dilemma where to put front signals though. Probably just end up with small stalks by the headlight.

Oh yeah, I made a mount for the front of the belly pan.

Changed the rear signals to the ones I had on the side covers last summer. The LED ones didnt shine back as much as off to the side. So these will be more visible. Might use the LED ones up front facing forward maybe somewhere.

I'm going to say it, best rfighter to date.

Love the paint and pin striping ;-)

Thanks guys

The pin stripping works a treat very nice

Front signals, don't look half bad.

Well, snow is melting at a good pace. so Its almost time to take some stuff apart again and haul this thing out of the basement. :)

Got a dinged up can and midpipe on trade for some other motorcycle parts. Cut the dinged area out and just need to make another mount for it to bolt on the pass peg mounts.

+1 A great build with loads of imagination. I mean an RF 600 yeuch but you've turned it into a pretty cool, bike.

Kind words suggesting fighter of the month, but not sure if its that good. :) As for painting the motor, I really hadn't planned on it, but its been mentioned a few times now asking. So maybe I should think about it. Honestly probably not though.

Well, I guess its time to get this show on the road whether spring is going to come or not. Still threatening to snow some more, but they keep hanging a warm weather hope in front of us on the weather report. And then it keeps getting postponed. In better news though I dismantled the bike and started hauling it outside. Still one more vital piece of the puzzle to haul out but it will be together soon I hope. Maybe take it for a little rip next weekend weather permitting.

Wow, Guess I should update this. Got the thing back together and have been riding it to work. Going even better than last year I think. Played with the clip position on the needles, still need to read the plugs again and see where its at. Some pictures of current state.
