Default Cawthray's Roadster Build

Hi everyone, thought it was about time to say hello. Been using the site for ages but never got round to registering and posting
Anyhow me and my dad started building in May 2012 with an empty board and the book, this is our build so far (Pics are a bit big sorry)







Loads more pics and info on our blog if anyone is interested.
Next job is water plumbing just waiting on parts.

If at first you dont succeed,avoid skydiving...

No parachute require to freefall,only if you want to do it twice.

Bike bodies from an r6 I think. We had them given so not 100% we decided to extend the fuel rail and space them out rather than bending the manifold to match. It looked nicer and made things a bit easier.

Did not look right,I thought they were carbs and not at the right angle if you see what I mean.

Yellow is the colour !!
