Probably about a 3 months working on it in the evenings after work and at weekends (don't live with parents) but it was MOT'd at the beginning of May, so from getting it to the bodyshop in Jan/Feb to then really it was started and finished - but then I had been collecting parts since i bought him!

Roo - yeah I thought the sticker was different to the normal mini stickers and was a play on "the devil made me do it" i had seen. Luckily my cousin works in vinyl signs and car wrapping so got it made up for free.

Thanks for all the comments, much appreciated. Sadly it is no longer freshly painted and needs a good wash and polish as i simply haven't had the time, but hope to meet a lot more TMF peeps at L2B 2009, thanks to Roo getting me an advanced ticket :D

And am off to pick up my freshely bored and balanced 1330 bottom end today ;D (new thread me thinks!!)

I made them, only took me 2 evenings.....

Am not sure, was on the graphs the place supplied me with, but I doubt it is at the wheels only being a standard 1275 plus weber.....
