Oh, I'll be here asking a tone more questions! I'll keep my questions in the other thread I started. Will just post updates and pictures here.

Tearing down the bike and popping the engine in the frame is one of the best bits, after starting it for the first time, that's the best bit.
Enjoy the build, I look forward to seeing more

To fit everything for shipping on one crate, it was best to do it this way.

Just make sure you get all the bits from the bike that you need.

Great pictures. I wish I started with the engine makes life a lot easier to get it in.
I do feel the floor needs to come first though.
Are you following the tR1ke manual?

Yeah just noticed that. Could be tricky getting the floor fitted unless you are doing a quick test build to make sure it all fits then stripping it again.
Have you decided what you are doing sump wise?

I clamped my floor in position, drilled the mounting holes and will fix it for good later in the build. PS... Great pics frank, keep them coming

Haven't decided on the oil system yet. Being a track car, it makes sense to do the dry sump system. . . . Just haven't bought it yet. Going to get most together and run water lines, brakes and such... then come back to it.

Looking at your pic from the front it seems you have the top wishbones on the wrong sides, any particular reason why??

I see you've mounted the bike rad, I too did this in the beginning with RTR telling me it was more than adequate. I'd recommend upgrading to a larger rad right at the build stage. It was amazing just how fast mine would turn into a kettle after some spirited driving, just slowing down to 20-30 mph town driving and she'd boil.

Will have to look into it for sure. . .
