That's a spiffy 1:1 bike you've got there Paul. Looks like a well detailed out kit with a HUGE parts count.

Other than replacing the tires, I all I've done is ride it. The rear swing arm pivots off of the engine.   + Got the frame glued together.  61 |

I still have not built the Tamiya kit I got from you. Why not??? Slacker....lol I put the engine case together and jigged it up in the frame. It took a bit of twisting to get mounting points lined up.   It almost looks like a motorcycle  Rear stand together, then tweaked to fit pegs.   149 |

Thanks for looking in, Paul It's still near the top of the pile. At least until the next 'squirrel' comes along.  Back part of chassis is the battery mount. I checked to see how the cowl fits with the battery in place. It'll be a real tight fit with the battery cables in place.   Also got the holes drilled for the shock protector.  The front suspension has gotten the parts drilled and fitted.   192 |

That's going to look great. I wish somebody had made a kit of my old Sebring.  |

I was rearranging my models in my showcases and was thinking about you when I sorted out my motorcycles. This thing is looking good. Oh, and I have 98 models displayed with three spots for cars and one for a motorcycle. Trouble is, I have two big rigs and four cars on the bench...

Just got a chance to catch up on another one of your MFH builds. I don't know a thing about bikes, but the build from a modeler's point of view is coming along beautifully. I'm always amazed that all of you MFH guys spend so much time drilling holes.
The paint job looks super glossy and about as perfect as one could get. Did you decant the rattle can, or apply it straight from the can?

Then shot TS-86 Pure Red straight from the can. The common joke amongst MFH builders is if you pay yourself $1 for every hole you drill, by time your done, you can by a new kit with the money..... |

Judging from what you guys keep on saying about drilling holes, that sounds about right
