    Thanks guys for the encouragement . I've written out a list of things that need to be done and in all honesty there's only about a days work left on it but I want everything perfect. For example, I had all the wiring done and it was producing spark but it looked untidy so I pulled the harness off it and now I'm building my own from scratch. That way there is no over hang or bundled wires anywhere. To do it properly though I really have to be in the right from of mind so I can give it 100%. It will defiantly be sometime this year though. Lol at least I've narrowed it down to what yr. lol

    Yes! Yes you do Harry. I'll need you to come wearing boots too, Drinking boots! It's a proven fact that a productive machine is a well lubricated one, so believe me that when you get a taste of some real beer, Aussie Beer (Tooheys, Carlton or Victoria bitter..... We don't drink Forsters, it's shithouse, that's why we export it) you'll question what it is exactly that you've been drinking in the U.S for so long that they've cleverly marketed to you guys as "beer". Lol

    On a serious note though, Me and Kate have had a lot of bad stuff happen to us recently and we've only just moved into our new place and the trikes at a mates place an hour away and I've lost my license for 3 months and our housing company were through wont let me enclose the carport so I can have somewhere to keep the trike.
    Thank for all the encouragement mate cause I seriously reckon without it I would have given up long ago.

    Cheers.

    Thanx for that mate, most appreciated. Yeah, everythings getting better. It was only a few months ago that i had my quad stolen off my ute, our house was broken in to and 99% of my trike memorabilia was stolen along with just about everything i own (luckily trike wasnt touched) and so weve just settled in to a new place but my trike is still at a mates place. I get my license back in 7 days so i'll be picking it up then. Im planning to have it finished by our Australia Day ride which is the 26th Jan.
    Thanx for the support.

    A little update...

    Big thanx to Mart 300r and dc300 for the donations of parts they contributed. Heres some pics of the bars and controls finished, i wont be using those grips though as the points are too deadly.









    Ive finished the wiring too except for the rear light.
    Its all done from scratch so i could hide as much of it as possible.





    I really wanted to use this for an airfilter...

    but due to lack of funds im settling for this for the time being.



    I think i'll probably fire it up in the morning too for the first time so if i do i'll post a vid.
