So whats been going on with the project? - We've been working on the tricky bits which aren't worthy of photographing. The big achievement in the past month is that the bike now runs. We had to modify the loom in a few places as some of the electrical components have been repositioned and needed longer wiring and then there were a few issues with regard to fuelling/new tank/electrical connectors that had to be overcome, whilst absorbing a couple of extra weeks.
But, its good to hear it start up for the first time and see that everything works as it should. Here's some photos of some of the other work that has been on-going . . .

Pictured above we have the first fibreglass tank insert, mounted with the fuel filler cap in position. This will be used as a guide and some futher work will be done to the tank cover to get everything to match up and the surfaces to flow together nicely.
The front projector light, now fully wired up into the loom. This light certainly has some power, puts my car headlights to shame! Features both high and low beam in the one unit, and is housed in the aluminium surround that we machined, mounted onto the front subframe, all of which can be adjusted angle wise for optimum settings. Off this we will have the LED sidelights, which are now drawn up in CAD and ready to be machined, but they are not ready to be shown just yet!
Along with the front, the rear is all mounted and wired up. Tail and brake light again all in one unit, LED powered. Very pleased with this, we achieved the effect that was dreamed up during the concept stage of the project!
