| Wow, looks great. I like that sort of hook shape you made coming out of the front fork tube for the tie-rod. I made need to do that so I don't have to cut a huge hole in the gun that goes around all that. Also, your steering seems to be nice and responsive, I'm surprised it turns so easy. great work, keep it up.

Turns easy as it's off the ground, and everything's on bearings.

Some left hand rod ends arrived today so I turned up the first steering rod with left and right hand thread on the ends. Just need to make another. Might cut out the body of it yet and swap it for some pipe to decrease the weight.
And a pic from the weekend.

I had a chat with an engineer last night who is able to provide the certificate required to ride this bike on the road. Seems it might be possible. He's coming to have a look at the bike in person in the next few weeks.

Doesn't work that here in Australia. Needs an engineer to certify it's road worthy.
