Nearly done now. Suspension finished up. Gilles rearsets still to fit then about there. She’s running again and sounding good through the 4:1 mated to the yoshi can

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. So cool. Thanks for posting. Finally get some real perspective. What is the “dash”?

Time to mow your lawn tho.

That looks fantastic, very individual, nice to see other bikes other than honda being used for mod parts, top work

Haha glad you like it. The dashpanel is a racetech dash2. Grass is fake… no point wasting spanner time on cutting lawns!

One of the 2 nicest resto-mod VFs I’ve ever seen, Well done!

How’s it ride/handle?

Thanks Walter. It’s not quite finished, need to fit the rearsets and the chain, job for the weekend then she should be about ready to go, in time for Spring! I expect it will need some tweaks to get it as I want it but pleased so far. Had a lot of help from a top chap who knows his stuff who has been an absolute star in helping make it happen.

gilles factory x rearsets now fitted and D.I.D gold chain. Hit of paint to come next

Just Wow! Forks look amazing. This is one of the most beautiful 2 wheeled things I have ever seen.
