Looking great Rob! Hope you get the parts replaced.

Twice in the last few months I was able to get replacement parts from

Tamiya USA......Free of charge!  Including "polycaps" and a set of decals.

Thank you Paul, I hope for the best. It´s my first contact with MFH, other than purchasing kits.

Cheers Rob

The gauges look just so real and unfortunately, I can't see much of the seat in the images. Can you post a few more photographs with a bit more lightening, as the black saddle in the high key images doesn't show off your meticulous work.

Thank you Peter, not showing the seat too closely was on purpose, because I touched it with a dot of CA on my finger, when I added the last rivet and have a paint lift there. I will redo the leather finish, when the spare parts arrive, which are on their way from Japan, thanks to MFH.
I even thought about applying real leather to the seat, but the contour would have made it very difficult.

Thank you Kevin, but she´s not for sale. We are talking about the most expensive motorbike in the world .

Cheers Rob

Thank you, you dropped in right for the first ride, as it is in the finished builds section .
