      That's looking really nice @Giles.

      My offer to be a stand-in for any filming is still on the table… 😉

        Nice "Real Wheels" and a great fitting handlebar!

          Liking those blacked out rims.  I'm going to do that with my FXDL.  Very nice!

            That'll be ready to ride soon, in fact I could save you the hassle of coming to collect by riding it down to you [emoji6]

                The guys wanted to deliver it too me on Easter Sunday.  But we will be out of the country on business (more on that any minute), so I may wish to take you up on that, but how the heck do you get back there, from here?

                  Decent wheels, and engine rebuilt with Wiseco 88mm pistons,  We reckon will end up at about 510cc…

                  Beautiful @Giles , best of luck with it!

                    That's an awesome build @Giles ! I really like the colour of it! I am looking for a smaller bike like that for my next project! I had been thinking of a HD sportster, but you opened my eyes to another idea. Thanks

                      but a cool SR for a reasonable price - makes sense and fun.

                          Wow, nice one G. Clean looking bike! The sound must be insane with that pipe.

                            I don't know yet, it still has to be delivered/picked up.  But the pipe is internally baffled…..

                                  Work with a guy who just had his Bonneville restored, have to get some pictures up.

                                          I like the color combo of the tank and the horsehide seat together…should look better with some age...

                                            @Giles pretty sure I saw this out on a test run earlier today, and it looked and sounded mint!
