Third photo in from the left ... really shows a feature I love about the SS. That curve is very sexy and just about spot on. The view shown in the fourth photo is another feature I love - it just looks so right.

I wish!-it is JHP's workshop-it started of as a simple strip to get the cases re-painted under warrenty, but I was chatting to John and one thing led to another as it does...............
It should be pretty nice once it's finished-1080 kit, cams, flowed heads, balanced crank, siamesed pipe with single megaphone, the frame and nose fairing you have seen, single seat unit, radial pumps, P34 calipers, etc etc
It's only money.................

Crikey! Thats going to set you back a bob or 2 or 3! But boy are those work shops nice. When I picked up my bike they had the supermono thats sat in the show room downstairs with the tank and panels off had a proper look around it yummy and they had more BSB and WSB spec bikes than you could shake a stick at!!

And I thought you were going to do it all yourself with two cans of spray paint from Halfords, a Rusty file and a Coal chisel

The moral is don't go to JHP it just makes you like kids in a sweet shop

Agreed, but it is just SO tempting-I managed to get out without committing to buy a 1098S though so I suppose I had a lucky escape............
