The bike is of-course utterly magnificent......but I really have been enjoying the photography itself, I believe that having built the bike himself Vic has captured it in a way no-one else could ever hope to. Great quality, lighting....what an eye !!!!

I also got some there stuff for the forks as these are only 30mm long. I blew WAY too much money on fasteners. Thank god i don't have kids; i would be a terrible father.
"sorry kiddo you're gonna have to wear those shoes for another 6 months. I don't care the sole fell off one and your toes are poking out, daddy needs to buy overpriced hardware for his toy."


Hey Doc,

Do you happen to have a part number for those yamaha bolts? Those will definitely look better than the stock ones currently in use.

BTW... Amazing job

The wiring is finally coming to a close. I have never done any serious type of wiring job, so as per usual I decided to jump in at the deep end. I was really struggling and shit wasn't working so after letting it sit for a couple weeks, I decided to take it down to a local DIY moto place and get some help. It was worth it as one of the guys there was a major help and even drew up a lattice diagram for this bike. Its very close to first start up at this point.
