It's actually nothing like Kwaka green, the pics are misleading. Started off as 8038 Verde Mela but what the suppliers sent was nothing like so we mixed quite a bit of yellow in to come up with this colour. Looks Kwaka like on my phone but on computer screen much much yellower.

It's actually a Spaq one that Martin (Corrado) from Justlambretta knocked up for me with anti dive and Nissin caliper.

Just about there now. One or two little problems overcome. Tank is leaking even after pressure testing so need to line it. Phil' had to make a new gear wheel as we couldn't get 4th with the three speed wheel. Stand had to be lengthened and a bracket had to be made to attach the stand spring. The lengthened panels fouled the footboard plastic runners so the plastic had to be cut back a bit. All cables had to be shortened and a bracket made to guide the rear brake cable. Loads of other little jobs that you would not think about until you try to fit. Engine fired up 2nd kick.

Front Badges on.

Richard, I feel an apology is necessary, I told you I couldn't get exited about J ranges but that is a whole different ball game. Brilliantly conceived and executed 8-)

Been a few builds on here that I loved eventually seeing in the flesh. Cutting Edge and the white/green (Bentley?) Series 1 for example. (among others)

This is def the next one I can't wait to see. :)

No apology required Colin, here's another little look:-
