The bike looks fantastic mate.. looks better than the UK SH ones for I presume a lot less dosh.
My only criticism(more of a dislike) is I don't like the pieces welded in to the cradle.
I'm sure your welding is bob on but when I see obvious pieces it makes me nervous...just a personal thing I guess
Cracking looking bike though, be nice to see the RWJ when its done

makes you nervous? your the guy that has a fork gaitor as a air boot!!!when the y is removed from the frame. you are short once you raise the y!
once the y is raised. you need to replace it, those pieces you refer to are solid billet, then machined and inserted into the frame by over a inch, you have a bitch of a task getting them in. then the frame is welded with a donor motor in. i left the welds shown, also my frame was plugg welded ,above and below the joints, i saw your conversion. and in my opinion, just mine. when welding, you dont remove what you have put in.. joint wise. trigger gum or the other dude, ( dont no his name) hehe could jump this bike day in, day out, with no issues here !of frame breakage. and personally i like my conversion. and its as you say. alot cheaper that a sh. and better built. imo

Ferkinell..calm down..I wasn't slating the bike, I said it looked tops.
I also said I'm sure your welding is bob on..I was just saying it's my personal opinion.I have no doubt about the integrety of the joins or how you've engineered them.
I know I have pieces added into my frame and I know exactly where they are..but the casual onlooker would not.
Maybe you need to go get laid or summat
