New project.1428 turbo or supercharged, Who knows?

i think your aluminum tail keeps the heritage of the machine and is more appropriate for this machine.

Yeah id stick with the original version you built also

A Z1OC member kindly photo shopped this pic .
It might not exactly be to scale but ......... ????

I vote for the first one,but it comes down to what you want

Ducktail for me sir

I have allways loved the look of the KR`s but with the photoshoped photo it does look very out of scale. You would need a real one in place to get the full picture as im sure the real part is physically smaller

The first one, unless you also want to run a taller tank

Yes! the one on the KR looks a lot sharper.
I would need to get that exact scale/look for it to work.
Won't go forkng out for one until the bike is finished and see how it looks as is with some paint on.

Zed Another thought/perspective would be..... the Ducktail you have made it yourself ! So it is a one off like the rest

I agree with Puffin, everything on your bike is made by you - stick with that.....by the way your bike looks like it's doing the ton standing still....very nice stance.

The bike in this video rminds me of yours.

Little bit more progress.
oil pump,sump and clutch cover on so it's now all oil tight.


Chain on and gear linkage extended to fit with some 10mm hex ally bar


Oil cooler mounting finalised with hooks for retaining strap , just needs a coat of paint to finish






Made a start on trimming the XJR front mudguard.


But for one reason or another i wasn't happy with it


Decided to go back to plan A and have a crack at whittling some of that alloy road sign
Guesstimated the shape i needed , cut it out and beat the crap out of it for two days until i had ....


....THIS




The last time i did this it produced a copper ash tray in second year metalwork :lol:




Several hours (and blisters ) later a very long session with the files and course paper produced a smooth surface ready for the final finish


Not bad eh?



Think this looks much better than the xjr one ?.
Just need to figure out the mounts now.
