Ain't seeking social comments in this post- but am in over my head way past point of no return and require help to get er all done. So listing stuff that might pique interest or area of expertise.
Please don't reply to this ramble post, it'd just clutter up too quick.
Pick a specific narrow focus for a new subject and see where it takes us.
Online photo's so far but have changed stuff not shown yet.

About 5 years since tearing 'Ms Peel' down to Phoenix her back from over rev event. 2.5 years now fettering with frame screwed to plywood in front of rocking chair in living room.
Is it just me or maturity that I can stare at her bareness longer than best girlie photo's...
Frame as oil tank fittings done over year ago - feeds when stem is hi or low yet not leak much crashed sideways awhile or landing upside down : (.
Crank case exhaust sucker but no other way to vent tank pressure, so hope it'll draw air in via intake rocker vent-filter, will this fly or flop?
Front wheel-brake done, rear wheel-brake done. Lacking tires, rear 130 on the way. Sealed for tubeless via Al foil tape plus fiber taped over for nick protection. Air stems need some grinding to fit narrow rim valleys. Hope don't need to glue seal em.
Water tank created, its plumbing figured out, almost all parts on hand to do it.
Hard to hold round jug fixed under tank so 2 spiked collars seem best solution currently.
Peel will burn water instead of fuel richness for expected 15 % steam engine effect.
More than half way figured out boost to vacuum sensing for switching of water spray and/or 1 of 4 ignition curves, routing mostly figured w/o blower and carb on to fine tune..
Ugh how else to run hard, 10.5 CR - 56cid - 10+ lb Druoin on rural 91 octane.
Hope to lack enough mass and traction to avoid drive train dissolving.
Regulated Air supply mounted and plumbing and electrics, in and out figured out.
Pushes water out as needed and suspension down as desired.
Fitted in toy yellow Squid Hunter Submarine for British humor 'secret' weapon + expert's frowns. .
Committed 1st pilot hole in sealed Al box swing arm air tank prior to augering it out to reach in drill to open each leg volume into cross tube space which'l be plugged by a 1/4" tee for in/out tubes.
Cold weld epoxy will be my friend again here.
Found thickness of Al will allow two taped drain screws for air condensation. Otherwise
would have to fix nuts on to give thread depth, like thin steel frame's oil drains did.
Size/type of engine oil fittings to swing arm spindle oil filter yet to decide and place but routing of hoses mocked up ok. Screens, ring magnet and black powder patches should work a treat.
Picture the sideways oil jet to test for sufficient flow : ) Will aim hose up to see how high too.
Got coil mount tucked deep under front of IS tank, tank, moved back 3/4" for oil cap and Scott steering damper post, as some race events require one, but hinders fast moves and saves, very dangerous item to me - ok for corner cripples' crutch to creep by on..
Just need to polish under seat frame vintage ice tray, for electrics and toggle switches and such..
Desire to put in a bunch instead of a key for pre take off snickings into right combo to fly.
Got air muscle materials sourced and end fittings to suspension mounts solved but
making all this is yet to happen - to avoid.high centering and wheelie taming needs.
Snicker as you like at a low rider Commando with 2" over to 1" under factory stance at either end. Dream on the physics of lifting front on leaning into turns then tucking it fast on powering out of apexes..
.
I think I've figured out air valves to work air mm's, 2 air gun nozzles for each end of bike, front is L thumb operated, the rear by LH foot. Nothing else off the shelf suffices.
One nozzle inflates and other one bleeds down, called a fill-purge valve by industry. But all too tiny or too big for picky custom Peel- of course.
Yet to decide on wire harness kit, Thunderheart micro chopper unit looks best and 'cheapest', though a number of other non standard circuits needed, ie: deer markers + video trigger.
Need to get or create rear sets and mount and plumb the rear master cylinder to it.
Made up most the rear mud/grit guard plates in cardboard to cut out of Al sheet soon.
Looks like might provide some sleek minimal tool kit storage space, maybe.
Need a nice Dunstall style front fiber mud guard, but where to source?
Got Al-luggage rack- rear loop support- figured for the vintage metal milk crate.
External alternator drive conceived - waiting on actual engine in place prior to drilling for jack shaft though primary case for an under top run belt pulley.
Still in a fog on flange bearing mounts and belt drive pulley selection or shaft OD..
Voltage sensing for slow idle charging - 650 watts in sleek device, not ugly tractor, car item.
Vesco fairing and lowers yet to modify and mount along with serious crash and deer bash bars.
After dark 80-85 is my comfort zone to never ever get deer strikes from the sides again 2 killed
so far and almost me on 1st 35 mph impact but just fine on 2nd bike landing of 75+ mph impact.
Don't kid our selves we may never come back from even short slow rides.
Saving up for Norris D+ camshaft and rear shocks as last two major hunks of cash to waste..
Mean while back at the shed hangs most of factory spec Trixie Combat - just needs engine - crankshaft up assembled put back in - parts are here & soon Wesley Hi Ryder to lend a hand.
A few more yellow boat paint coats yet to finish when climate allows shortly.
Safe Journeys
