Yep getting there. Still some expensive bits to buy though - like the triples with scotts damper but my deadline is April so it will get there soon and finally I can ride the thing!!   

Looks awesome, just great

What about keeping it as a show bike and buy another one for riding   

Yeah that has been the plan before, and my wife even encouraged having it in the house on show! Reality though with house and child commitments I can't really afford to keep two, so the plan now is to buy a second set of everything visual and have it's photographed once completed, then ridden in road legal state (just the odd weekend ride) and then when I ever want to have it in replica state again I can swap out to the fresh plastics and other bits. I have luckily got two of all the decals and important replica bits.

Whats up with your seat....don't seem to fitting very well against rear fender....?

I just loosely fitted everything to take the photos, I still have work to do under the tank and seat.

Hi guys, I found a whole heap of old images through searching archives of old websites back in 2005 and thought I would share them!

Here is Johnny Campbell aside the beast (the exact bike I am replicating):

Interesting front end going on, what headers are you running?

Not sure; stainless, possibly older FMF.
Front end is going to be a rally/road book setup, based on the RAID Designs AB MRS headstock mounted rally instrument bracket.

Currently houses the battery, updated reg/rec, fuse box, wiring etc... , and a trailtech headlight.
