Picked the kit up today, just about got it all in the garage!! The nose cone is in the dining room, just popping the bushes in the wishbones tonight. Hopefully I'll get the floor cut and rivetted on tommorrow, and hopefully the chassis back the right way up.

The bloody missus has cleared off to Pilates so I can't do anything just yet. Bloody kids ruin everything!! Anyway got 30 more rivets and ordered more nuts and bolts and rivnuts today. Might jump on eBay soon and buy some more toys!! Hopefully I'll at least finish the floor when she gets in tonight.

Progressing swiftly Carl ;D Keep the pictures coming.
I was just wondering what's the all up estimated weight of the tR1ke and what are the ratings of those springs on the front and can you use the standard rear spring/damper off the bike on the back ?
