[QUOTE="Oldhaven, post: 144552, member: 2879"] Time for something a bit more uplifting, I hope. I have been back at it recently after having to delay work on the project due to a move to a new house, then all the work involved in getting a shop mostly set up and finishing up what we could not afford to have the builders do In the rest of the place. I have had some health isssues that also made things difficult, but I am now well enough to continue spending time and money on this pile of bits. The pictures show the current state. The big change in plans has been to use a fairing I have had for decades that was originally intended for the Ducati 750GT I sold to finance this project. This required a fair bit of head scratching and fabrication since I did not want to do any more welding on the Dunfey UFM. It has a bracket for a fairing, but had to be adapted to the Ducati fairing/headlight support. It also required that I go back to my original plan of Laverda adjustable bars, though I really liked the European super bike bars I had on it in previous pictures. The stage I am in right now is creating a wiring loom from scratch, something I have not done before. It looks a right mess now as I am just getting it all roughed out before tidying it up. I am using a motogadget M-unit as a big departure from standard. I hope this experiment is worth it, but the concept is good as it combines lots of separate elements in one small box.
