I can't really see how thick the fin holding the back wheel is, that would be kinda cool to have the exhaust run through it (just need the holes out the back if its wide enough, also tail lights and blinkers could go there as well, maybe on the back/top of the fin?) other than that a headlight but I don't think it needs any more nuts and bolts.

As it is, the bike looks pretty cool if you're going with wheels. Nothing wrong with a bike for after hours. I think I'd like to see it more textured before I say anymore.

Thank you all. Very helpful. Actually got the headlight and tail light added late last night. Hopefully a tail pipe tonight. Anxious to be done with it, but not very anxious to begin mapping. @quietrob, texturing should be fun, though. :)

Here's what I've got so far. A head lamp, a tail light and a running light on top of the head lamp. Also a set of exhaust pipes. It still needs a gas cap and a kick stand. Had to stop for the night. Silo doesn't like the size or this thing. I'm going around and removing geometry wherever I can.

nice, just noticed tho, where are the pegs to put your feet? Also clutch/breaks etc?

I need to get it into Poser, so I can get a better idea where to place for the feet. All on the to do list, but thanks for the reminder. :)

I think you'll find the foot pegs should be about where your exhaust currently is (it kind of looks like foot pegs a little bit) and passenger ones about where the space where back wheel lines up :D

Just make things difficult, why don't you. :cry:

Actually, this particular model is produced on an alien world where the natives have three legs and only one eye. Why the motorcycle's manufacturer chose to have this model produced on this alien world is a mystery to everyone (including me). Having three legs and one eye creates a problem with interpretation of the design as well as product testing. Sooooooo.....miscalculations tend to occur.

How's that? ;):laugh:

haha David, an easy fix, make it electric then it wouldn't need exhausts and just put the pegs there :D
(did I mention it doesn't look like it has indicators/blinkers or whatever you call them in your part of the world?)

At least Dawn is going to look a lot hotter than I used to :p (In my defence I remember it was a very cold day so was really rugged up!)

haha thanks Pen, that was approx 26 years ago I think. I got my motorbike license way before my car one as I left home when I was 16 and didn't have anyone to teach me to drive.

You obviously know too much. I may have to shun you.:unsure: You're wish is my command. Blinkers coming up. :)

Foot placement is solved (subject to Rae134's approval, ;)). I had a minor crash, so one step forward, two steps back but all will be fine.

Oh, and before it comes up, no cables or wires because.... wireless technology or something. :)
