Now going custom with alloy bodywork!!

I currently have 4 motorcycle restoration/builds going in various stages, a truck and tractor waiting to be started and numerous other projects going. Not enough hours in the day. My biggest problem is if I don't do little bits on any of them the ideas in my head keep me up at night.

Slow progress, if any. The house build is now in full swing, so the projects have been packed away for a while. I still keep looking for the last few pieces, and this week I found some shocks. If all goes well, I should have the bike unpacked and start working on it again in June. My luck something else will come up.

It's been packed away for 2 years now. The new house is done, the basement has been finished, and life is returning to normal.

Pulled it out of storage 2 weeks ago, and found time this week to dissemble it enough to carry downstairs.

Now to start plucking away at it. Lots to do.

Re: 1974 Commando 850 Dunstall build.

First parts cleaned, polished and assembled. And my RGM order arrived.
So nice shiny parts and a Lansdowne kit. I'm looking forward to getting it on the road.

I agree with Ludwig about the tires, but not from a weight point of view. Chinese rubber isn't there (yet), it' price point rubber, and low at that. Why??? Why wouldn't you give your self all the advantages that are easily at hand? Dual Sport? you going off road? Those Kenda's will break loose long before a Michelin, Avon, Dunlop, Bridgestone, et al will.

The build is very interesting, I'm impressed with the effort you have put in.
