Very interesting. Can you shorten up that headlight bracket to bring those lights back closer to the fork tubes?

I could possibly cut them to length a bit, they are a bit too long i know, but the space might fill out a bit once i've got some clocks in there and the hydraulic hoses. Wishful thinking. :negative:

Yeah, what Paddy says, either shorten up the brackets or maybe a bigger light housing?

How big of a nitrous bottle can you fit out of sight behind the sidecovers?!   :good2:

Great project!

Looks a bit small for a 1200 when put into perspective.
Took me 8 weeks to get those twin silencers from Motad. :dash2:
Anyway, slowly getting there, still need to figure something out for the tail unit.

That thing needs wheelie bars or a rider with really good wrist control. Great job, that project looks well done and awesome. Does it come in red and White?
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Well i was a London despatch rider/courier for 13 years, so does that give me credit in the wrist control department  :rofl:
It's still really thrown together but thanks, rough and ready me, needs a paint job, but if you're good with Paintshop on the old pc then fire away it might just take my fancy. :wacko3:

Is that a Thunder Ace swing arm? Regardless, a hugger from Pyrimid Plastics would look cool.

How long is your wheelbase?

It's a standard XJR1200 twin shock swingarm. Isn't the Thunderace a mono shock?
And the wheelbase is 1500mm, which is exactly the same spec as the 12 and 1300 XJR's. I thought it might have been shorter with using the 3CV forks with the XJR front wheel.
