RIP John, we miss you
The patience has come from us having to endure this build
It's only been 6 weeksThe patience has come from us having to endure this build
The 1098 multi has taken nearly 2 daysIt's only been 6 weeks
About 3 hours actually
Well I have some progress to report
Chads been busy with his proper work but has soldiered on when time permitted: the engine is sat in a GPZ1100 standard frame as a build jig but once the down pipes are done I will have to swap it into the KR frame and fit the swing-arm and left rear set for the next stage...

There's something quite special to be able to do that & make it look so good. Whatever that is costing it's well worth it & don't polish out the blueing !! Pity it'll be hid behind the fairing !
Just about to get my TIG up & running so hopefully by the end of next week, 2030 I might be somewhere close to welding half as well as that !

It’s costing me a lot of Jaffa Cakes but I buy them when they are on offer at Tesco, don’t tell himThere's something quite special to be able to do that & make it look so good. Whatever that is costing it's well worth it & don't polish out the blueing !! Pity it'll be hid behind the fairing !

NoJust luverley, I trust you are not going to polish the blueing out, are you ?
Forgot to ask, is 2021 going to see this finished ?
, they will remain in their raw state and colour up nicely after running too - there's still a few hurdles to get over but hopefully the majority of the bike will be there by the end of 2021 maybe 
You’ll need to clear a bike out so you have a bit of room once she’s finished.......No
No need, they are welded proper like
just waiting for Chad to be less busy to finish the back section

Hate to say it but even the best tiggers in the world working in F1 and precision aerospace etc test their welds for minute leaks...No need, they are welded proper like

After Chads sabbatical while doing his proper work we have some progress on the rear of the system.
Just getting the angle correct in the limited space available - wheels and sprocket sizes are very different so just getting the best visual compromise...
