Nice work, looking to do similar with mine

[@mattcc6603]

Thanks, David and good luck with yours.

❤ absolutely gorgeous. I ride an Yamaha 660 xt.

[@mattcc6603]

Much appreciated! Thumpers are a ton of fun!

Nice job mate I thought that tank looked familar, much better than the original.Having had the exellent little RS 250 as my third bike & loved it I always wanted one of those.

[@mattcc6603]

Thanks. I commuted on an RS and it never let me down. Loved it.

@@mattcc6603 They handled great too used to love leaving bigger bikes on the tight twisties on mine.

[@JOOLZNED]

Very neat looking :)

[@mattcc6603]

Thanks, Joolz. I'll be adding the 600 barrel and piston next :-) How's your own supercharged XBR running?

[@JOOLZNED]

@@mattcc6603 They run great as a 600 you will notice the difference. My supercharged bike is getting a full rebuild, a few modifications and respray this winter. It will be more powerful, lighter and look a lot better, I will put up a rebuild video but Im about half way through at the moment

[@mattcc6603]

Sweet! I'll wait for notification of your video. Bit cold for spannering now, or are you in the front room again?!

[@JOOLZNED]

@@mattcc6603 I make the parts in my shed but assemble the bike in the nice warm dining room

[@ou7shined972]

Noice. Tastefully done too.
What range are you getting to the tank?

[@mattcc6603]

Thanks for the comment. I get around 110 miles from a tankful.

[@ou7shined972]

@@mattcc6603 Easily enough for decent bimble, fill up again and come home. Cheers.
