Can I request a picture with the chicken riding the bike?

Really like what you've done there, that seat's a big improvement on the brown one too

Just a minor concern, you've got one set of footpegs but 2 seats - in my experience MOTs really don't like that, might be best to get hold of a cowl for then. Exhaust brackets don't look like they'd be a problem to me but I'm no expert

More good advice - will take a cowl with me! Cheers mate!

Well done cutter, your bike looks really fresh - clean lines & very tasteful, I like it lots. hope you have as much fun riding it as you have building it - Cheers - Mark.

Looks great - especially like the pipes

The hanger should be ok but a triangulated mount would be better. I also think it would look better black to blend in with frame - kinda jumps out at you at present. Louigi did a really cool mount on his bike where it was hidden behind the cans. Made it look like there was no hanger at all.

Thanks chaps! Ooh yeah that is smart isn't it... how the 'ell does that work then?

Yeah agree it stands out a bit on that side - other side not so bad as it runs behind all the brake malarky. I meant to profile it a bit to make it thinner in the main central section. Might still do that at some stage...

You can just see a plate (black) behind the footrest which sweeps down between can and swingarm

That has another angled strut on it that picks up on the can, that I think had captive studs in the sleeve

I can't come anywhere near to some of the engineering skills amongst forum members, and there's a lot I will do better next time, but for a first time attempt by a botcher I'm a happy boy.

It looks belting, top work. Park it between Max's bike and mine, you'll be fine.

Bwahahahahaha, seriously, you've not nothing to worry about, we're not all Capos or Katos.
