Water system is now done





Airbox is modified and fitted





Under tray made and fitted



Then we moved onto getting the tank modified to fit the Domiracer seat unit











Now its off to paint. Viv has a couple of contacts and so we dropped it off for paint with a 24hr turnaround. Judging by the metal sat round in prep I'm sure it's going to be a top job!













The exhaust system is being made as we speak so in the next couple of days it should be finished!!

Lovely build. Not your usual cobbled together effort. Attention to detail is everything :-)

The hardline cooling pipework looks great.

The original bike looks strangely familiar, has it been seen on PH before?

Today Viv finished up shaping the undertray....







And we picked the tank and seat unit up from paint















What do you think?

If it's not too crass, and when you're finished.... I think some of us dreamers would benefit from knowing the rough costs involved, so we can sell our kidneys as required to have similar commissioned?

I'm not normally a fan of "home build" cafe racers but this looks superb. Well done!

I'm really looking forward to seeing the fully finished bike..

Who mentioned "home build" this is about as far away from a home build as you can get - some seriously deep pockets required to get to this level of perfection. Love the carbon tail unit and the paintwork.

Haha yes I thought the same! Home build indeed.

Looks well with the rear wheel back on. That jack makes me slightly uncomfortable!
