Good work Yami
If your chain rollers are hard plastic they can make a noise when new.

Thanks guys.
Well, now you can see it complete. Project is done, phuuuii....
It has been a struggle but a fun one.
I have a couple of things as extras I will do further on as boxholders and maybe
the central stand. But now other things needs my attention.
Didn´t get MOT time until 15/7, we´ll see then if it holds.
Everything is working now what i can tell.
Thanks guys for your support and feedback. Couldn´t have done it without you.

It looks just right with that headlight and no shroud. All it needs is a protection cage around the speedo and tach gauges to match the headlight only without the mesh in front of the guage faces.

Thanks guys!
I like it a lot myself, despite it is a bastard XT.
Got a lot of experience doing this one which I will have with me into next build.

Yeah, headlight setup will probably be changed. It looks smashing from the front view with that big diameter.
From the side, nope, it has the wrong shape, and maybe a little little to high mounted.
A big cage covering it all was a good ideá, didn´t think of that, thanks.

I don't think the headlight looks bad from any angle, at least in the pics. If mounted lower by maybe 2 inches would be tops. That is a 6inch bulb right? To go down to 4inch it may look too small. I imagine things maybe look different in person. Don't know if a square light will look right on its own.
The cage I am thinking wouldn't be big, Just an outiline around the guage, same shape as them, and about 1/2(13mm) away from them all the way around. One bar down between the 2. made out of approx 3/8 (10mm) dia rod.
This has me thinking about doing my own like that, light and all.
