Thanks everyone. This thread might slow down some as I'm close to the end of the build now, maybe a coupla ride reports.
And "jammie bugger"? WTF is that?
And "Hogmanay"?
What are you blokes smokin' over there?

Looks like 'jammie bugger' is a lucky person and 'Hogmanay' is a Scots word for New Years' Eve. I'm going guess they've started a wee bit early.

I guess you will have to build us another ride, for us to follow. Let's see, how about a Cafe or stock appearing hot rod. Yeah, thats it!

She looks good sparkling in the sun, Dave.
Your 2 lane beats most riding around here. Cornfields, or city cagers in a hurry.

Get your SIL to turn that Ninja into a Bryan Smith replica flatracker. I want to do that, but too many projects now.
Yours is looking good.

I, being Dave's aforementioned SIL, would consider refabing my 650R, however after helping him build this, one re-built bike in the family is enough for now. It was a blast doing it. Glad I was able to help him get through it. We got some new pix of it just today. another miserable day here in CA, 64 degrees and partly cloudy.
Dave, great looking bike! Are you running without the upper motor mounts? Can't see them in the last pics. My tracker build is coming along slowly and I'll try to get some pics on here later. It will be more of a gravel tracker but with a lic. plate as I am in farm country. Mitch
