Black Arrow update

I've been updating progress of the custom-framed GSX-R1100 on Instagram (search @sideburnmag), and also in Performance Bikes magazine, nearly every month, but I haven't put many photos up here. Sorry to the blog faithful. So, here's a catch-up.
Above, is the bike on the bench at Racefit, where I had a Legend Ti exhaust made for it. G
Matt at AH Fabrications made me this amazing oil cooler and bracket. I'm after an Asahina Monster feel. Below is the sketch I sent to him to check the feasibility.

RCD quick filler has been on a while, but this photo shows the Brembo master cylinders mounted on the front of the top yoke.
 Keihin Flatslides on the Guy Martin-polished and ported head.
 Before the engine went in.
Geoff Co-Built putting in a radical (and secret for now) mod into the tank. Lovely job. 
Getting there. G

    I love this bike! Are you going to keep to the GS paint or do you have something else planned?

    As I have said before, Gary, It looks great! Asahina feel is there! What frontfender is that? I hope to see paint ideas soon! Cheers

    Hi Marcus and Steve
    No, not keeping GS paint and sorry, but I won't be posting my ideas before they're done, but the paint will be memorable.

    Kinda like the paint as is, but I'm sure it's going to look awesome when she's done.
