Bike looking good - with those ladders I expect the Fire Brigade Rapid Response Vehicle to be quite an asset (unless I've got it wrong and you've started a mobile window cleaning business).


The seats look interesting - will be good to see them on the bike.
I dare say Pete will enjoy the crotchless rear seat.

Looks interesting Greg. Did you mention a new paint job to the panels? :smt017

Bike looks good so far, like the seat, but thought it was going to be a picture of a Falco,

Is it a Sargent set up or another firm?

Hi all,

Seat was covered by a firm in Vancover, Canada, called Luimoto. They took so long, some 6 weeks of me being patient, in the end, the company only asked me to pay for the postal costs and got the seats covered for free :smt007

Panels have been painted in a black/deep purple, so when light hits it, goes all pearlescent purple. Amazing what crud you find when stripping the bike down. Anywho, my final parts are ready for collection manana. Aprilia italy is way too slow. So, next week will be buidling the bike back up. Happy days, been off the road for ages.

Just hope we have some wrm weather this summer :smt004
