Thanks. No, sorry no build threads. Some stuff on the tank mods for the Beemer here; http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/7-tanks-on-a-1993-r100r.1088744/

Thanks Chaps. Yes, enjoying the workshop immensely. Another pic of the Beemer for code4pay:

Been quite a while since I've done an update. Workshop has kept me pretty busy. I bought another project bike in late August. Turned this: into this: This is done as an urban scrambler for now. It's quite a hoot to ride, but may eventually go on to make this into a cafe racer also. The...

Here is a similar one for the same price I paid. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Motorcycle-Front-Wheel-Chock-Type-Stand-/151291090248?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item2339a6d548 These things are so good I bought two. I use one on my lift instead of the cumbersome wheel clamp that came with it. The...

Thanks gents. Haven't noticed the tank getting hot in the sun yet although it's pretty mild around here this time of the year. I will find out next summer I guess.

Thanks. Yeh, actually I was hoping at first glance it could be mistaken for the original carriage house. Thanks for reminding me. I'm going to lacquer the wrench and horseshoe.

Thanks. Yeh, the floor colour is fine. It makes it easier to see better, the downside being it shows up mess and marks more than a dark floor. Biggest disappointment with this floor coating has been that I've discovered it is not very resistant to petrol and if it comes into contact for any...

Thanks very much 1/2 cup and Crab! There is still a fair bit to do really. The seat is still unfinished gelcoat. I also want to replace the instruments with something more minimalistic. Also have a small fairing I want to experiment with. Then there are modest upgrades to suspension and engine...

Making very good use of the workshop. Guzzi project largely complete now. Will be ongoing improvements and upgrades. Runs really well and is great fun to ride.

Thanks Jim. Yes, main air lines went in while blockwork was being laid.

Finally got the ceiling done and although a workshop is never complete, I would now call it practical completion. I used low profile metal sheeting with 90mm thick insulation batts. I installed two 50 x 50mm RHS members the full length of the ceiling. These provide lifting points and easy...

Lola is a big help in my workshop. Sometimes still gets confused between metric and imperial though!

Thanks all for the compliments! Yeh, pretty happy with them so far. Look good and good value for money. Yes, I can imagine it being an issue. I don't have the floorspace for racks but some more wall shelving is on the cards for this purpose.

Minor update: 1) Aluminium tank for the Guzzi arrived: 2) New wall cabinets: 3) Some rusty accoutrements for the doorways into the workshop:

Thanks GRS. Yes, have seen Sakurama's very impressive handiwork and have been hanging out for the latest update. I'll be doing something similar…eventually.
