I've been beavering away in the 'shed' for a couple of months, between all the other commitments that get in the way of having fun).

Bought a 918 engine off the 'Bay for a stupidly small amount. It came with mainframe, all electrics, carbs and airbox. Too good to mess with.
Sourced an R1 front end and an '08 blade swinger for equally stupidly small amounts. Many hours on the 'Bay sourcing all the little bits followed.

Seat unit fron an '05 'blade, downpipes are actually Kwak ZZR600, I had them liing around, as too a lot of other small parts adapted or fitted perfectly.
In the process of undercoating everything ready for some mettalic black to go on bodywork and waiting for an '08 nose fairing to dress up the 08 headlamps. Still a way to go though.

I think that you've done really well in putting all those parts together. It looks almost like it's rolled out of the factory. For me that's the sign of a quality streetfighter Thumbs Up
