    Welcome...
    Like that rear end, at first i thought was trackbike with no rear fairing then saw the numberplate and rear light... half naked style bike.
    I do have a standard rear subframe for sale and seat etc if you need

    Thanks for that but I'm gonna stick with the half naked route for now especially after spending a weekend trying to get all that abs stuff removed. A wiring diagram would come in handy if anyone can help as it's currently a non runner. It is (was) 2013 abs model.
    Thanks for comments.

    Welcome to the forum, I kinda like the look of that!

    Looks like you've got a wiring loom nightmare on your hands.......but good luck with it! ;)

    Easiest way is to swap out the main loom for non abs 1. Saves alot of hassle

    20220516_170149.jpg I've Been working on a modified bracket for the headlight recently after a couple of attempts im finally happy. It's tricky to get everything to fit and look right at the same time as it has to clear forks and Hiss unit on full lock.

    Got some time off this week so I thought I'd pop the engine out as I want to add some air scoops to the frame then powder coat it.
