Quick steering then! ............ and its all just spot welded together Worse then that, much of it was spot welded by me! It all helps to concentrate the mind and pay attention to detail

Work is on going. The frame is painted now and I have been busy making and fitting a wiring loom from scratch, fitting the cables, forks, front disc brake etc etc.
Will chose red, and it was a good choice. I had problems matching the suggested colour codes to real paint colours, so I took tony O's advice and used the current Piaggio red colour. In fact, it is the same red as my Gilera Nexus 500.
I'll post some photos soon, but it really needs to be a rolling chassis before I do, as it won't photograph well in the confides of the workshop.
So I am still working on it. Fortunately, Will has gone back to University (teaching), so I now have another graduation to aim for. Perhaps this time I will get it right and deliver it on the day.

Very nearly finished.
The tail light and headlight need to go in, fit the exhaust, bleed the brake and fit the new number plate.
No photos until Xmas though. I'm such a tease.
