Check engine - I don't believe - it's like a new!

I very like old style bikes like a Triumph ........... And my idea is to make it like his vision
Old rear wheel is 16"and I start from change with 17" ......... I bought a rear rim 17 "by another motorcycle and gave both rims of the master to replace the original rear hoop 16" with that of the other rim that was 17 "

::) :eek: Why nobody not write here ? ............... maybe this project is not interested........... ??? :'( or other guys is not see it ?
 
Hey now, this is the first time I've seen the thread. It's a interesting project! I think it's coming along great!
 
Ahhhhh.......great work man! I'm looking at this on my phone and all the pictures on the first page crashed my browser! Had to check it out on the home computer.

What are your plans for the suspension? Progressive springs are available for the front forks, and I think there is a Ducati Monster shock that will fit on the rear.........
 
I buy a Fork from SUZUKI GS650GT with GAS shocks .......... rear suspension - Original rear shock work perfekt no need to change - I use only for cyti and short distance trip for coffe with frends.
The secret is in to in real time now - the bike is finished......... ;D but every time when I work on it , I forgot my camera :eek: and now .......... will show you pics from this week:

My target is a classic line like a Triumph...........

- Guys now is your turns :-[
 
If you don't mind me asking, where'd you get that headlight at? I'm looking for one with the turn signals on the side like yours.

Thanks
 
I buy it from - my Suplier for motorcycles parts from China and make a little modifications ;) Headlight clamps, turn lights and tail lights buy from - Dime City Cycles , after have a little work on the late and polish machine - and after this is the result :D
- now have a speedo and result is 4l/100km(60miles) ................ other guys with GR650 - can tell me your fuell consumption ?
 
I believe if you baby the throttle, you "could" get around 60 miles per gallon. I used to get around 50 or 55 mpg's, but lately have been getting much lower (due to a weak ignition system that I'm trying to remedy.......).
