Steady progress

I've kept ticking along on the racebike over the last 2 weeks. Although I was going to focus on the RGV first I've been picking up the smaller low-cost items on the supermono before it gets to the expensive parts and will be shoved in the corner.
All of the wiring is complete, grips are on, and the plumbing is almost done (picture to follow). The tank has been a problem as the underneath needs to be modified to allow for the carby and water filler. The original was set up for this but the tank itself was in a pretty bad state with rust and dents. I've cut out the bottom of the tank to leave the top as a skin for a fuel cell to be mounted in underneath it. Hopefully this will work......

I also got in a little spin up Mount Glorious on the Gixxer. If you want the place to yourself then go when it's raining ;-)
