(Pic for attention)

So im building a chopper and would like to know the ABSOLUTE minimum I need for an MOT, ideally id like to get rid of indicators most switch gears and move the starter to a 4 position ignition

anyone in the know?

Cheers

Not sure what to do, would this look dumb being this high?

Came out the cylinder with these but no scratches in the cylinder wall, my guess is someone reused the piston with them there,

My question is should I replace it?

Could be a nose, head, eye, lips, doesnt matter aslong as its something !

I feel like over all its very flat, eyes are not right, everythings just slightly off

Be brutal I can take it, any resources are welcome

worked from multiple refs but mainly the attached painting

as the title says took a 2 year break to have a crack at a job ive always wanted to do

However back at it now and doing small studies everyday to get my eye back in, I would like as much criticism as possible, how could this be improved, suggestions resources, hit me!

Currently messing with insurance after a collision, I am green we collided at blue, they had to cross several lanes to reach me my lane is marked, who has right of way?

edit: I should mention I was stopped/stopping just before the collision to let them pass but target fixation on there part maybe they turned into me slightly, front wheel was swapped by there drivers side bumper corner

edit edit: location is Burton on trent, newton road de15

So I'm having (maybe) a problem with this sportster, I've noticed the rear cylinder does this weird suck (which it isn't a suck it's a stronger pulse compared to others) like it sounds like it's struggling but isn't

You can hear it on the video compared to the front cylinder where the front is nice and consistent

I'm new to Harley's so any advise is welcome

Also have a clanking sound while riding periodically which I can't locate but I don't think that's engine related

Im told late 80's to early 90's but not sure if thats correct

What is everyone running for clutch perch/front master cylinders? I want to reduce the junk on the bars and I cant find anything nice looking that fits the bill, I dont wanna pay big bucks either, £300 for just the master cylinder in some cases is crazy, or if I find something from a vintage jap bike its 7/8th"

Give me some suggestions lads!

Here we go, new bars, shorter fender, got an exhaust being made, probably going to get rid of the front fender and then next steps will be to unload the bars and move the switches somewhere else!

Painting up a fender for my sporty

I was a self employed miniature painter for 2 years and have painted various things for the last 20 years, however, this is the first time I've done anything like this

Used cheap "2k" can primer from MASTON (it's awful don't bother), and paint and 2k clear from a company called kustom canz in the UK which actually seems to be very good product

Had limited space and limited hygiene levels (garage no extract gonna have fun cleaning the dust now oof) so I was expecting some particles in the clear

I do have some garage fan heaters which made the experience much better with curing and drying times

How did I do? Spraying the clear was probably the best bit but the prior prep and fighting with the crap primer was frustrating as I found out a small section had not set after I layered my second coat of black

All done with rattle cans

One rear fender painted, Not perfect but not terrible, first time doing it and learnt a ton! Must be tank time!
