Thanks Chris Finally!! Someone else who builds bikes!! Nice!!! Thanks Paul. I've actually been building them for years. When Chris asked if I built bikes, I realized I hadn't shared them here. So it was time to come out of the closet. LOL |

So it was time to come out of the closet. LOL I should have been building them. I have 2 more Hondas in my stash, I think its time for another bike build.
Love yours, very well done.

Do you use detail kits on your builds?

Do you use detail kits on your builds? The only detail parts I have used so far is the Tamiya fork upgrade kits. I do have the Top Studio 09 Yamaha detail kit which I will probably use when I get to that build. |

Thanks @articwolf. Not bad at all. I'll probably build the two I have straight out of the box. If I order more down the road I may buy the kit. I saw them really cheap at PlazaJapan but Japan is not shipping anymore until this pandemic is over. You could gets motorcycle kits there for around $12. Some of these race bikes were $16.

Does the Fork set make a huge difference? Yes, it makes quite a difference. The sliding part of a fork is usually either chromed or gold plated to reduce friction. Here is a Ducati fork with the upgrade.  |
