[@MOTODANS]

Thanks 👍 Won't be quite as flash as your yenkro but it's going to do what I need it to do.

[@southerndualsport3827]

That is going to turn out great !
Looking forward to the next episode 😎

[@MOTODANS]

Cheers Peter 👍 It should do the job nicely

[@anthonya7066]

I've seen Dino's version a while ago, yours is looking good too Dan. I would trim the dash personally, and would use black edge rubber/pvc plastic trim for the stock dash top you have cut to finish the look and to reduce vibration.

[@MOTODANS]

Hey Anthony. Thanks for that, yep that is the plan for the stock dash and around the new one. We call that pinch weld over here.

[@TheHexx007]

That gap underneath would be perfect for a mini whisky/brandy barrel. Like the St. Bernard dog😂

[@MOTODANS]

🤣🤣

[@mikegrieder3528]

Nice

[@mb9604]

The headlight may reflect light back at u. A projector led may solve that in lieu of a halogen.

[@MOTODANS]

Not something I have thought about. I have a jns led headlight fitted anyway which has no light emitting to the rear so shouldn't be a problem 👍

[@Stuka_Ace]

What is that wrap you have on the frame where the tank rests?

[@MOTODANS]

It's a floor mat I cut up stops the tank from shaking and contacting the oil cooler ruclips.net/video/K24hOUVGWtE/видео.html

[@peterwoollard288]

Mate ...can we have some measurements please.....from a fellow dr rider

[@MOTODANS]

Sure Peter will take some measurements and put it in the description will also put it in the next build vid 👍
