Hi John,

Some of my bikes on Jamies site have been altered and are now looking better. I reckon about January/February I might be finished them all but will still be on the lookout for a few bits and bobs.

18 or 19 complete Kuwahara's will be the final line up and then I will try and get a group photo.

Cheers bodamus :)
