Thats one way to shed some weight.
Going for the "Mad Max" look hey. While your at it, you should put a big phat back tire on it. Doesn't that sling dirt all and chain grease all over your neck, shoulders, and back ? I know my undertail gets quit a bit of chain grease caked on the bottom.

yea wanted to put a bigger back wheel on but there is no clearnce with the bar that holds the back calapier on
and yes i get very wet and drity and it has played havoc with my eletrics .
i have a hugger just not had chance to put it on yet lmao

Paint the front fender IMO. It looks like one of those cars that has an unpainted hood on it. But good work never the less

Yikes

[blueeyes]

ok so started to strip her today going to use my mate garage soon but couldnt wait so started in the garden lol

and a box of bits

[joedan]

what have you got planned? good time to do all the maintenance now that you got it in pieces.

Wow, that didn't look like it was in bad shape before you started tearing down.

[blueeyes]

well powdercoating frame, swing and wheels paint engine. a few new bits make her to a nice fighter with a theme

Wow, that didn't look like it was in bad shape before you started tearing down.

she wasnt but major eletric problems so need to fit a new loom any way and need new chain a nd sprocets so thought would just rip her apart and build her properly

You had a very nice bike and ruined it. Someone had to tell you straight up.

[dodgyp]

Thats harsh 4banger! Maybe 'ruined' for you, but each to their own,
I think it looks great, good luck with the next stage blueeyes.

If we all kept a standard bike, sites like this would get fairly stale...

If you think he ruined it look at mine.


I think it's coming along great! Liking the solo cowl/ tail you made.
