Very nice Alan,

That 916 seat unit looks great, the overhangs not as radical as remembered it being originally - did you chop it? What are you doing about the exhaust outlet, is it going to exit through the tail like the GP bikes? Look forward to seeing few more photos posted as the build nears completion :)

I no my opinion means sod all but I think it looks bloody great the most original paint work I've ever seen on a monster. The engineering looks top notch as well.

AK is planning to have a coffee morning in Jan at some point on a Sat if you want to come over to see it..
For those who plan to pop in on Sat (27th - see Surrey Xmas invite) we could arrange to open up then too... possibly... (but the bike is at the stables...)

Ta for offer of wiring help grunt - but Al was a bike sparky. Hope to have that going on over the next couple of weeks or so.

The rest of you - :eek: - your appreciation of the colours is ridiculous!!!:confused: :eek: :p

My wife, a Dubliner, commented that it was the wrong colour and that the red should be changed to orange to suit her taste :)

Looks fan-dabby-dozy. Can't wait to see it in the flesh. It looks very seasonal. A Chrimbo Monster.

I hope it sounds as good as it looks.

Handlebars - aha - therein lies a story.... no, they are actually only on there to shove it about at the moment!;) - they look even longer without all the grips & things dont they?:D

Umm, sorry to be the party pooper, but I don't like it... I know that'll make me unpopular...!

However, great engineering and very neatly done. The arse end is mega though, it's just the paint job that doesn't work for me.

Good luck with it though! Howzit sound?

Spacey - you are not alone - I REALLY hate the colours.(HATE HATE Green!)........now, if it had been red all over.......;)

Had it have been all one colour it would'nt have been alan's plus it had to have green on it somewhere otherwise he would have got withdrawl symptons from the Kwaka. I think it looks very well done and the paint job is MAD! However cleaning flies off it ain't going to be fun.

I agree with Ian, if it was fluro somewhere, it wouldn't be Alan's!!

Still reminds me of a quality street sweet tho!!:D

Nicely engineered!

Saw a thing on the box the other night about graffitti art on clothing. Some guys taken to drawing & airbrushing funky designs onto trainers and flogging them for a couple of hundred notes a pair. He said almost any item of clothing could be decorated in this way.

Perhaps that could be Alans devine path to colour matched leathers?

BTW if it happens and the style police come knocking - you aint seen me right?

Ah, I don't think it's colour matched that's the problem, rather colour clashed... (or simply colour blind?!)
