    Must be really satisfying to be able to do what you, and others here on this forum can do too.

    The engine was a US import back to it's homeland. It must have originally been a UK model due to the T120V engine stamp rather than the US T120R stamp. But no idea of the history there other than it came from Baltimore (wherever that is).
    The engine is out of another bike so the head and barrels went on for that build. Nothing special in there as I just try to get them running to pootle around on rather than tearing it up these days, so pretty sure just standard cams and followers.
    The tank is from Redmax and is a UK made item (I think). I'll line it once the drybuild is sorted as I'm fed up with leaks appearing after completed builds (even after pressure testing) these days.

    I've just laid on a tail section that I made up from another build to see. I haven't shortened the subframe as much on this one (about 3 inches) so I can get my arse a bit further back. Still thinking about rearsets or just sticking to standard with western bars. But coming along I think.
