    Bit of an update, started accumulating parts now, busy replacing rear wheel, swingarm, side stand, engine covers, etc looks bit sad now with no rear end on at all subframe scrapped waiting for new one from CRK.

    Glad too see it back together looking so good. Could be a long wait for it not to be raining?

    A bit late I know but just wanted to add my congrats on a great build, well documented and an ace finished result. I have converted a 900 Trident using the CRK kit myself so it was interesting to follow the process that yourself and Hinckley went through. I have to say, you did a more thorough job than me and the results speak for themselves...awesome mate.

    It was really interesting following your build and the level of detail that you went to. Mine is partially finished but hoping to do more over this winter....paint swinging arm, chain guard, rear hugger and rear light bracket satin black, new rear shock and tidy up rare brake cylinder placement.
    Moved up to Highlands in 2017 and the limited full range means I have to be really careful up here.
