Meng 1/9 BMW R nineT

[Mence]

Thank you my friend.
Although it's the pre coloured edition I have painted everything so far.

Blimey, there's more!

Instruments and top yolk are done, looks ok.



And the exhaust system is almost sorted. It will partially come apart for mounting, the two bits of wire is prep for wiring the O2 sensors, it just looks mad if you don't.
Apologies for the blurred image.

Progress is looking nothing short of stellar Mence. That exhaust system just looks so dang clean!!! Fantastic detailing on the instrument cluster as well.

Thank you, more down to the kit than my ability.
Final pic for this week, fork upgrade set assembled. Springs inside so workable. Steering damper and brake lines in but I needed to scratch one of them as not included in the kit.



Back soon.

There's certainly alot to this build Mence. Everthing that you've done all along sure adds up into a beautiful build in the making. Looking forward to the next installment.......

Thats looking luuuuurvly mate.....the yoke is especially nice with those decs in place, the decs themselves are really detailed and very 3D looking........AM sussie`s look good as well

Thank you kind chaps, trying to do a little more today.

[Mence]

Looking similar to yesterday's post, she now has handlebars, levers and switchgear.

Front fender installed, first bit of colour.

You get a choice of solo seat or pillion, for the pillion, you use the optional rear subframes but I will opt for the sportier single seat set up.
As a result, you dont use the rear subframes and just need to fit the rider footrests and hangers.



Almost there...

[Mence]

All done.

Tank, tail piece and seat all sorted although the seat base gave me real headaches.

Breaky offy bits duly refitted and there we have it, great fun and quite rewarding without putting in excessive effort.

I think I might have a crack at their BMW HP4...





Thank you for following.

[406 Silverado]

This turned out super nice Mence!!! Just like you.....it's always the last few bits of a build that give me the worst headaches but you weathered through the storm and made it all happen quite well with this turnout. Superb building!!!

Blimey mate, you didn't hang around with that

[brandonk]

Wow, this thing is big. Love the look and your work is great. Can't wait to see more.

Been away for a while and have re-read this thread. It's getting more and more tempting to buy this kit as well but so many other two wheels here on the pile. Nice job you've done.

Glad to see you back Ron.

Glad I didn’t miss this cause I returned here recently. There’s no way I can keep my builds that clean… it would have been covered with my fingerprints and excessive glue! 🤣 Outstanding build for sure!
