hey man, you should know that this build is of the upmost quality. This bike belongs with the likes of Ringo's, Stik's, etc.

Great job, man.

 

[englishwheeler]

Really appreciate it guys! Look for some more progress posts soon.

I'm impressed with all the stuff you've fabricated. Looking forward to see the progression.

My next projecft has to be a mono shock. This thing wil be sweet. The stance is perfect.

Any updates on the bike? Did you make it to MotoGP?

 

[bananaclip]

Oh my! The tank and seat combo are killer!

 

[englishwheeler]

Sorry guys, haven't been on here in a long time. Just been way to busy.

Here is the bike as of now:

I did make it to the MotoGP and got lots of people wanting to know more about the bike. It is really fun to ride and handles well. Only thing I am thinking about changing is the rear wheel and seeing if I can put a bit lighter spring on the rear shock.

Got around to polishing the tank, tail and the engine covers. I think it turned out nice. This is the first polish work I've ever done. The tank didn't come out as mirror-like as I had hoped, but it's really close.
Now to find a drop center rear rim to match the front one...then I should be done!

 

[YogiBear]

bike looks great. Especially the custom frame/rear suspension work

 

[englishwheeler]

Here are some nice pics of my bike finished. I suppose technically it's never "done", but all that I may have to do is spruce up some fasteners here and there. She rides really nice and I'm really glad I did the rear wheel conversion. Makes the bike look more appropriate than that rear drum brake in my eyes.
Hope you enjoy.

This thing turned out awsome...love the tank and tail. What mufflers are those? Looking for something similar.
