Great job, my friend @brithebuilder!
I go with our friend's @chinesegeorge advice.
Brian Mennenoh said 1 year, 6 months ago:

@chinesegeorge - Makes sense George. There's only 3 lines that run from the calipers all the way to the brake handle. Those can definitely be installed after the forks are mounted. Everything else can be done while it's still easy to handle.

@johnb - Thanks John.

@fiveten - Thanks Spiros. George's experience definitely helps.

Some heat staining on the pipes while other parts dry.
Brian Mennenoh said 1 year, 6 months ago:

The heat staining is actually a bit less intense... photo is a bit dark.

The heat staining looks wonderful, my friend @brithebuilder!

Looks very realistic, Brian @brithebuilder

Adding the lines to the forks is going to be a bit easier than I had anticipated. The Top Studios kit comes with .3 and .6 mm wire to use for this which is definitely easier to work with than tubing. Some of the lines will have to wait for the handlebars to be installed.

The front fork/brake assembly looks great, @brithebuilder.
Brian Mennenoh said 1 year, 6 months ago:

Other side lower fork wiring/plumbing complete. Also added the BRIDGESTONE 'B' decals to the fender sides.

@chinesegeorge - Thanks George! The wires have such a small attachment point, it makes it challenging to bend them into shape after attaching one end. It's working though, I just have to stay patient. The handlebars look to be a lot of PE and resin parts from Top Studios. Should add a lot of detail.

Looking forward to seeing the handlebar details, @brithebuilder, it’s about 10:30 pm here in China, what time is it with you?
Brian Mennenoh said 1 year, 6 months ago:

@chinesegeorge - it's 9:40 am here in Wisconsin George.
George Williams said 1 year, 6 months ago:

@brithebuilder, iModeler is truly international.
Brian Mennenoh said 1 year, 6 months ago:

@chinesegeorge - it is quite amazing George!

Amazing detailing on the front fork, Brian @brithebuilder
The work on the plumbing turned out beautifully, a not so easy task to get them bent like this.
