The Black Rat is getting that little bit closer. Had the master painter McMuffin drop by tonight with the painted stuff, to say that it looks as smart as a rat with a shiny green tooth is an understatement. The tyre on the chairs wheel has now been swapped out for the closest thing to a slick and the exhaust is now underway. Will post some more pic’s as we get more done.

Beautiful job on the bike, just a thought how well will the front shocks work mounted upside down.

QUOTE: from Jeff Boyle :: wow that looks amaZing I swung for Steve in Morgan and it sure didn't look like that .... I hope there is at least one zip tie on the bike holding something on lol.... a great job and I bet he would be so chuffed looking down on his bike and great bloke still remembered ... I even have a pic of me on the bike on the wall in the shed from Morgan.... great memories
