    After watching your video several times, I too went out and made the decision to purchase a knee mill retrofitted with CNC controls. I've already had a 16x60 lathe and the necessary tooling. I just felt inspired to move forward with my dreams of fabricating my own parts. I'm also restoring a 1980 r100 I found locally. It was very rough, not running, but it had low miles. The first thing I'm making is a new set of triple trees to mount GSXR 750 forks.

    Everything is very simple but so well thought out and finished perfectly.
    Its also refreshing to see everything aqua blasted and left raw colour instead of just painted black.
    The only thing I'd change myself is the air filters, think it needs an actual filter there when it's being used and not just for show. But this was just for show I suppose!
