I am pretty new to the forum but it looks like you have gotten rid of the big battery and left a clean look under the seat. Can you point me in the direction you went in with this mod? Kick only start plus some electrical mods?

I have electric start as primary, as the rearsets make kicking a pain, i have a batt under the rear of the seat and all the elect on the pan, the batt is a gel cell motorcross batt and has no dramas kicking the bike over

Anything and everything! Can never have enough pics, especially when it's a bike as nice as yours!

A couple more pics,

I didn't take many as the light wasnt right and doesnt do the colour justice.

Looks great! Did you make the seat?

Can you give me the details of your battery- make/model?

Your bike has a look that defies description about why it is so great looking. All of the details just work so well together to give it a spirit, cafe' yes, but unique too. Good work and keep the pictures coming!

A couple of build pics,

the batt is a mottobatt as in pic, though had i known they were available at the time i would have bought a shorai or similar.

and the rear seat cowl I laid up in glass as per the photo.
