Love the way you have all your Stella bottles facing outwards :lol:

Read all the link the other day, reckon a 2T would be more of a hoot and would keep the original look

Stella bottles facing out are due to my own OCD & years working in a pub. :beer2

The Thursday night barmaids used to line up by the glass washer for 'suspender check'........ I kid you not. :kod

This project has been put on the 'back burner' for now, whilst I sort out a couple of teething problems on me Budget Z900 & spend some time riding bikes. It'll still be there when the winter returns. :wink:

OK then, back on with this. Dug it all out from storage just before Chrimbo.

Mocked up motor position & started on front engine mount.

V&H Sidewinder will sweep around the front of the seat post, one the bracing has been relocated.

Front engine mount welded up, Sidewinder fitted. I'm now off to find some asbestos underpants. :shock:

Bit more progress with this. Drilled some large holes in the side rails & welded in a couple of nuts to take the lower engine mounts.

Billet engine mounts! Rails are bolted at the front to the original cross members.

Next issue is getting the rear axle as far forward as possible. By mounting the axle under the frame rails, I can squeeze the rear (and only :shock:

) disc into the space underneath the kickstart.

Fitting a brace between the frame rails would leave no room for the disc & interfere with the chain run, so I've added a diagonal. There will be something on the other side, once I see what space there is.

Disc squeezes in. Caliper will mount to the side rail.

There was never gonna be room for the full Sidewinder silencer. Looks like this is gonna get a very short slash cut tailpipe. :sou
