God save the king the engines bloody in!

DonR, ive got to say, that looks awsome, an incredible amount of work gone into that :+1:t2:

Absolute wow!
Everywhere I look I’ve got questions?
Just amazing that you’ve stuffed a VF motor into what?
And then all sorts of home engineered or adapted parts……

Thanks. It’s our tribute to the mighty FWS1000. Honda’s first round cylinder V4. There’s not much in the way of off the shelf parts in this one.

gday all
my 1000r is on the road at last,
I took her for her first ride on Saturday about 350kms.It rode really well and the engine is nice and smooth.
There are some small issues and ajustments as always and the lower fairing needs fitting after all the niggles are sorted.
Thank you all for your help and incouragement, 20 months have past since i started this project,
Im a happy man.

Well done Groov, fantastic that you got it out on the road and got some shakedown kms up mon Rosey!
You’re way ahead of my R project, time has been the issue, but I’m determined to have it on the road ready for riding by end of winter/ spring at least>

Cheers mate,
spring is good.Riding down your way in winter can be a bit cool.
Ill be there.
