Yeh only showing 1 we well have 2, should be sweet and sound great.





Also decided on the tank, yep a Yamaha XT 500 alloy job,needs some mods to fit but looks great. We will be machining up a alloy old school type filler cap with help from the boys at Retro Motorcycles....

Latest update on the 650

We started work on the pipes toying with the idea of twin cones finishing under the engine,na it's been done so back to the drawing board. I have decided to keep the header pipes it came with as they have the perfect shape but I'll chrome them...also I have started to remove all brackets not being used,progress is slow because unlike the TY I am designing as I go .. Thinking thinking..


Also going with the open look where the battery was by fitting a smaller one and hanging it under the new seat, less is best right.
