They are just flat bars at the moment but may change after first test ride, may put risers or longer bars. Did think about some dirt bike bars, dont really know yet untill it comes together but I am sure there will be a list of changes

I'm sure it will turn out great and keep up the great work.

Part of the battle to getting a good finish, would be in the preparation. Could try preparing it yourself first and then take it back to re-chrome.

I like Rigger stay away from chroming.

Hyper charger goes on

I am not sure of the brand but I think it is a Kuryakan and is a well made sold bit of kit. and it even works fully ajustable and vacum operation for the butterflys. Bought second hand here in Thailand

Have you started the engine yet?

Looked at the web site and looks like a kuryakyn

No not yet, waiting on a battery from bangkok and the guy hooking up the wiring loom, Maybe tomorrow I guess. I also still nead a fuel tap, fuel cap, side stand

Can't you do away with the platic switchgear on the handlebars?
Looks a bit outta place on a bike like this.

It's looking nice from that angle. Not as garish as I imagined.

probably will later down the track, as I said there will be plenty of changes once its on the road

Heh, your going to have fun starting that in some of the dusty carparks! If you practise you may even be able to hit the bike next to you with stones .

(mental note - don't park on the right of Riggers new bike!)

Does it count if it has stabilisers on?

i reckon it needs apes!

Went to test ride today and the seat pan wont be ready until tomorrow so put it off until then. I now have all the other bits I needed ie. side stand/ fuel cap/fuel tap, and had to get a bit of cutting done to fit a 18amp battery in, but what really piss me off is the paint job I want on the frame and tins is going to take 3 weeks

It may just go that way

This the paint job I am looking at getting

Just my 2 penny worth here Rigs but hasn't that design been done a million times?

I remember my old mate Lance building his bike back in the early seventies and the local gut that did the paint work did much the same design.

Your project deserves something original. Christ knows what but hey, just my thoughts.

No worries. It'll be good.

Look forward to seeing it up in this neck of the woods sometime.
