Been gathering up some tasty parts though. My res caps with billet levers plucked from the Ducati Performance catalogue. 330mm Brembo discs. Today I dropped off everything I wanted going black with the anodisers.

Hello Stu , What were the stock discs 320mm ? What do you need to do to the calipers mounting position ?

Getting some miles on 'Black Bess' on a cold but dry day last week , finally all that rain has washed away the last of the grit on the roads. 800 miles on the speedo now and can't wait for the better weather to get some long trips down Wales so I can start climbing up the mileage list again. :) . Speaking of which I must get around to taking my old bike off the list and sticking the new girl on there, can anyone give me some simple instructions on how that is done, thanks.
PS running well and hasn't broken down yet.

Just copy and paste the previous list . Then edit it with your new bike info and save it.

The only sneak peak you're all getting of the paint...you'll have to wait until Good Friday for the completed bike.

Which logo did you go for Stu? 2016 from the Donny tank or 2010 (I think (or 1961 appears the same)) from the engine case? Would be legitimate to match them I guess, although not accurate to the configuration of the original bike that year. The little things matter I suppose, when you’re building a special.

I wasn't going to give another sneak peak, but I'm crap at keeping secrets. In the flesh, the grey really pops out

Nice Stu - like that a lot; looks great quality too from Dream Machine! Bike will no doubt be an asset as an advertisement for your business. Good idea to have a decal for the Logo rather than paint for when you on sell.

You’ve given me an idea for my tank👍!
 
Busy day....I would carry on if I could, but my back has thrown the towel in.
Tank just dropped on to get a feel for it. Jury's still out on the airbox.

Can you tell us how you're painting the frames ?

This is just a standard factory finish. This frame would have originally been destined to become an SE (ukdm)...its very early with the m6 oil cooler mounting holes and pegs for lockstops.

...mated to a Solihull swingarm, and rear shocks. Solihull oil cooler, front forks and wheels....Donington yokes and bars, and engine, wiring harness etc.
So yeah, brummy parts will retro fit 😆
