I'm using satin Selenite Grey as the main colour, with text in Wicked Blue (frame colour) and some Silver pinstripe between the blue and grey
sort of Yamaha colours - wanted to steel clear of colours that suggest another marque.
Should be out of the shed by xmas - I hope...... :-[

Bryan......that's looking great ..... do you think it will be going by next years Wellington meet?
We are going to have to find a Hybrid name for that evolution ...something like..........."Kangabanga" ......sort of like "Katana" ...but more Aussie and rider appropriate.
Only kidding ...maybe..... ;D
What colour are you considering for the paint job?

hey Brett - the plan of the rear set brackets is saved if anyone else heads in that direction -
the folder below has a video of the bare machine running, if that interests anyone (best heard on the desk top computer) - I'm waiting on paint and panel and its all over.....  :D

Hope you enjoy the ride and it all goes smoothly, looks top notch. What happened to the other mirrors though. Sure you had some round ones

Right - finally - ready to ride......just sort the front suspension (heavier springs to accommodate
the [heavier than R6] XS1100 lump and I_, then after Wellington, paint and ceramic coating for the exhaust -
and a hundred other things by then, I'm sure.....
