Bren

Fair enough. Do you mind explaining how you did it?

Brilliant, just brilliant. Eye for detail and everything thought out. Brilliant. What's with the torching of the bolts? I plan to dip mine in boiling hot engine oil and light them up to blacken them and give them corrosion protection. What's this then?

Sorry don't remember who did it, I think he was in Australia - "Keef" maybe? Rings a bell.

Didn't someone have a Rad made once on here? Didn't cost toooo much if I remember rightly, might save you some trouble.

Linky link? You have a 5th Gen I think?

I agree it does look fantastic. There's been some serious money thrown at it and a huge amount of work. Real effort put in there. I couldn't have it in my garage though, I'd always be worried about crashing it and the effort to keep it sparkling. Plus I would hate to trash that thing. I think there are cartridges available, JDM, or new valves and springs. I just think after all the money and effort involved in the build they would have put modern forks and brakes on, I mean they converted the rear wheel after all. Maybe the builder likes the combined brakes, many really do, so good for him. Looks like the original brake lines too, hmmmmm... I just didn't like bleeding the system which even after several times still annoyed me so got rid.

Looks nice and very well done but all that work and the standard forks and cbs brakes? C'mon. I like the coolant expansion tank though, if that's what is. Über cool.
