[deepwaterimports]

epic build mate it looks amazing congratulaions. just a quick questions what are the tyres on there

[Noddy78]

Heh, yup, Li'l ol' Tassie. Thanks guys, I never get tired of hearing people saying nice things...

Tyres are Shinko SR777 100/90 19" on the front and Dunlop K177 120/90 18" on the rear (which is actually a front-only tyre [for a Goldwing I believe], but I haven't found it to be any kind of problem so far).

I love copper too, I did a CB550 nighthawk with copper front fender and engine covers.
I did the frame in black powder coat, with alas copper crazier paint, and the tank.

Got some pics?

[LtGeorge]

Yeah mate, I'll try and knock something up when I get a chance. I didn't take a hell of a lot of photos during the making of it, but I'll jot down what I can remember.

yeah anything would help, i love how its done

buy the looks of the pictures. i doubt just any old clip on youtube would show up here. my guess is we'll all be waiting a bit while some kind of professional short film de noir is written, shot, edited, and premiered online here.

"Because iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you"

I was actually planning on getting some nice video while I was doing the shoot, but ran out of time. I'll see what I can sort out in the next few weeks though... maybe not quite a full scripted noir affair though... but it IS tempting....

Hhaha, none taken. Nothing offensive about being Australian... well, except for the accent, and the occa reputation, and the general offensiveness... but we're not all Paul Hogans... Strewth, could be worse... could be a septic...

[rhavindog]

... I was just glad to have an opportunity to use the movie reference...accent?....my gps is set to the ausie chick voice....i watch dancing with the stars just to hear Kims voice....I have a secret crush on Isla Fisher......oh, shit, did I say that out loud?

A very good Aussie friend of mine whose family arrived in Australia on the first fleet always says if his people had been religous zelots rather than criminals he would be an American.

Sorry to hi-jack your thread, I'll get my coat. Taxi!

[rhavindog]

religious zealots, criminals....I say potato, you say "putyto myte"

[bowser881]

Those gauges are so cool. Did you have those custom made?
