Hi everyone, this is my first bike build ever so i decided to also make my first wip. After watching all the incredibly wonderful bike builds of members here like SandroSilva and some many others, i decided to try one myself. I 'll be adding some detailing from t2m,top studio and crazy modeler. Please suggestions for the wip and the build itself are more than welcome so here we go...

raw materials!


Engine first




Removing molded bolts




Then drilling for T2M metal bolts


Some mr color semi-gloss for covers and gloss for oil filter


Oil filter masked and sprayed alclad dull alum.




Masking for spraying cyl head with alclad white alum.






Some bolts installation.




Decided to improve starter motor.












To be continued...

Looks good! Looks VERY good so far....I'll be watching with interest.

Regards,

Build update
Engine mounted on frame




Swing arm work




Rear shock done


Wheels ready




Exhaust work, some welds added




Ready for alclad chrome


Its a 2002 bike so a bit worn header






Decided to jump to the handle bars, all of it was airbrushed so it was quiet a masking challenge for me. First gloss black for the levers.


Then sprayed polished aluminum








I am happy with the end result






That's it for now, thanks for watching

Thanks everyone!
John, the brakes are from crazy modeler, part# EP0024.


Riggers, for the engine I used .6mm hex bolt for oil pan. engine covers are .7mm hex and .9mm hex with flange. The .9mm are a bit too big but that was I had available at the time. There are some PE ones also from T2M.

Regards;
Rick

[Riggers]

Cheers Rick for that.....order being placed now! Already have the Crazy Modeler PE set!!

Looks really good mate....what final colour scheme are you going to do??

Thanks again,

Having owned the real bike way back in the year 2000, I can say that you're making an excellent job of this build. All the little detail touches you're adding and the colours you're using are absolutely spot on..!!! Looking forward to seeing more as you progress...
