Good result, well done. (thumbs)
It looks like you went through a lot of hassle and cash to get it sorted. How did the budget work out?

Around £4500 all in. Which for an essentially new bike with 3200 miles on the engine and a lot of decent aftermarket parts isn't too unreasonable to me.

I think you skipped a few stages of the build could you whip it apart and make sure you get the pictures this time. ;) Looks fantastic mate! (thumbs) (thumbs)

A new engine sorted it. The old one had a lot of corrosion on it too. I found another with 3200 miles on it. I couldn't pass up on that. (thumbs)
