It's not yours 'til you cut it up.
I bought this bike a few weeks back from a local CX owner who's also a member of the Aussie CX site and and Do the ton using the name Rat-cx. Some may even remember this bike over the last couple of years. Interestingly when I was first looking at CX's a few years back this one came up on ebay but I missed the chance to get it and bought a different bike. Rat-cx bought it and got it to the point you see here and now I've taken ownership of it anyway
I still don't know what I'm gonna do with this bike. I took it out for fuel the other day and had a ball as it is but the clubmans aren't good for my back. Could that seat and tank work with dragbars... maybe, maybe not....
The engine through those harley pipes sounds bloody great.
So I'll see what happens and like the other build I'll probably change my mind over the next year or three before I decide what to do. A lot of what happens will depend on my back's requirements, usability as a daily scoot in summer, financial cost, and local laws (such as the need to have a rear guard and the number plate centred).
The only change I've made so far is to fit the Nissin remote reservoir master which is a fantastic bit of kit. That with the braided lines and stock calipers is plenty good braking for this bike.
So here's some pictures of the bike.
And after I took off the radiator surround and dropped the bike's weight be about 127kgs....
I've already tried fitting up a Shadow (AKA Deluxe) tank but don't think it works with the seat.
