Do I see an Ossa lurking in the far left of that picture? Rare beasties these days!
Where in the world are you sliderman? I like the look of the fairing on the TRX, had thought of going the Duke 900SS fairing route look one day myself.

Ah yes Twig, he IS a member and has posted a fair amount about his kit on this forum, as have others who have used his stuff for their own cafe racer builds. :wink:

That round head light works much better than the original, and the bar end mirrors give a clear unobstructed view, I was quite surprised how well they work. Will Post some better pics of the rest of the bike soon.

Love the look of the rex bud, looks like it was made that way from the start...especially in black. Top work.

Yep thats quite pretty.

Needs some cone type silencers though to finish it off.
