Hoooof*****gray, at long last, are we now calling it "a rap" ?
Joking aside Exi, that look bloody luverly
, well done that man, I don't think you could have done a better, more modern job of it 
I think you’ve knocked it out of the park, splendid project, top banana, I look forward to seeing it at Squires or similar, it’ll certainly be the only one.
You forgot you don’t ride anymore haven’t you
What’s the next replica Exi? We are looking forward to another build from scratch threadYou forgot you don’t ride anymore haven’t you

I need a rest 
I might start recommissioning some Ducati's ready to sell next
Not sure, I did keep a rough tally but stopped updating it a while ago - just added Electrics and Paint and a guestimate of other bits and bobs and I reckon somewhere between £12 and £15K + an hour or two of my time - luckily I had mates rates for the Welding, Electrics & Paint, everything else I did for free
I had the Engine of course and that would have cost a fair bit to build to it's spec in todays money...

After doing my first bike I figured it best not to keep a record, my wife would be horrified if she ever found out what I'd spent on it. Having said that I was curious to see what my new one is costing, that too is horrifying !Not sure, I did keep a rough tally but stopped updating it a while ago - just added Electrics and Paint and a guestimate of other bits and bobs and I reckon somewhere between £12 and £15K + an hour or two of my time - luckily I had mates rates for the Welding, Electrics & Paint, everything else I did for free
I'd say Exi has done a brilliant job, very cheap
You'll never get rich building custom bikes !
Units can be trickyIt’s measured in mere hours actually
It’s measured in mere hours actually
87,660 hours
Probably 500 hours
Is about the length of time we’ve been reading about it.Probably 500 hours
I didn’t say it was a waste of time, I’ve quite enjoyed it, it’s made me want a new project that I‘m into, I’m just not quite sure what I want to build. I do know that it’ll have to be comfortable and have an electric start.About 100 hours without this thread
