Good work

That heavy duty paint stripper looks more like Nitro-Mors used to be many years ago, in doing a good job of lifting the paint.

Is that seat unit from an MV Augusta it's going to look great

Chris.

actually, the more I look at it, it looks like an Aprilia RSV/Tuono tail... could be wrong though...

i was going to use what was left of the vtr subframe but i got a ducti one for a good price so we will see how it goes

i'd love to have the fabrication skills to properly fit a different rear subframe and seat unit. I've always thought the std one was a tad bland.
keep up the good work buddy, you have some serious skills.......

That tail will look really good.The turd will be great when finished.Well done.

Well done Micky, you were right the first time and I was wrong

Chris.

That’s coming along nicely

the 1098 frame is quite a good fit , just a bit of filing for the top mount but the bottom will need cutting and made longer ,i did order a under tray but its not much use as its a very poor fit to the seat unit due to the seat unit being a race rep

Sh1t for a split second I thought you'd chopped your hand off, glad it's only your glove

That subframe is art, maybe naked with a hugger and just a seat and small box to hide the battery and gubbins. Gonna be nice this

yes you are right it is a work of art shame to cover it with the seat pod

been striping the wheels i was just going to polish the rims but was thinking about polishing the whole wheel but it would mean getting the tyres removed before starting , this is one i did for my last bike a Buell X1

they do look nice but a hell of a lot of work

the seat hump got here today and there is no way it would fit ,so i decided to fill the hole and make it look better than it does now

The Buel wheels look amazing, and your seat unit is getting there. I know how much work and time is involved to do both jobs, well done

Chris.
