Keep us posted.
Was interested in using this frame myself to benefit from the potentally lower seat height that this frame will allow.

Probably worth pointing out that as well as the seat subframe being different the front fork rake is a bit more kicked out on the shadow frame than on the euro and (i imagine) the ascot - so it will be interesting to see how it handles in the bends ???
Dougie:
Just slide the fork tubes through the yokes/triples to suit.
The tube length is much greater than the available station travel and wheel clearance to radiator.

Decisions decisions!
Got a temporary coat of pint on the frame now and trying do decide on side covers. So I got the card and duct tape out but I'm unsure - I think a 'full' triangle side panel may look a touch on the heavy side :-\
Any opinions? Square, oval, triangle, other or naked?
cdntfindanAscot:
or oval # board?
J6G1Z:
I think that the only way that naked would look good, is if there was only a UNI type of filter showing in the frame triangle. You would need to remove the airbox & hide the battery somehow.
I'm partial to the square number plate look, as that is the most Flat-Tracker looking.
The triangle filled in, with the oval added, looks real good, but I think the oval needs to be bigger, or lowered to match the top of the triangle & cover the top of the shock.
I think this bike has real nice side plates: http://ascot500.com/index.php?topic=13.0
