Sneak Peak, waiting for numberboards...

That looks Bitchin'!!! 8)
Very cool color scheme. Can't wait to see it with the side panels on.
Keep up the great work!

Update: IT LIVES!!
Now fully taxed and tested, insured and on the road. All we need now is some sunshine (and one or two tweaks)
Whilst waiting for the numberboards I had a play with a bit of 6mm bar, some mesh and a friends Mig welder and I quite liked the result so got them powder coated (£10 :) ) Hence the mk 23 side panels and front number plate.
Just waiting for my front mudguard to come back from the shop now. Didnt really want one but after a ride on a damp road realise that they're not just for show :o
J6G1Z:
Man, That bike turned out sweet!
I have to admit that I didn't think a Shadow was ever going to look that good, but you have surprised me.
What little bugs do you have & how well does she run?
How about a pic of your temperature gauge & other instrumentation?
Great job!

Seems to run just fine, taking it easy as it was mostly in boxes when i bought it so it has unknown reliability, Just the heating issue to look into - which may just be down to the fine tuning of the 'gauge'.
... I dont like the headlight. I have seen a number board with tiny lamps built in which would be on the list if they weren't so darned pricey, and the flush mount lights i can find here to make my own are all too deep, so its a work in progress :)
The original idea was no lights, speedo, mudguards etc but practicality and an inability to insure it for a reasonable cost have put paid to that. I've also just added a tiny bar end mirror for convenience - I'm getting too old for craning my neck round every two minutes :(
I will add some more pics when i take 'em :).
cheers
