Frame compleet stripped, lots af welding for tank and seat and powdercoated.

Tank is repica from a 1970 honda racer, fairing is Original rickman. Made a new oiltank, al the electric wil go under the seat. Colors wil be red and silver, like the Mike Hailwood Honda.

Bike is ready!
Build it up from the ground, iMike Hailwoods Honda racer inspired me.
I am very happy with the wheels, took a lot of work but i think they are awesome.
Total look of the bike is old fashion with a little now a days looks.
Its rides very good, sharp stearing good brakes and nice sound!

SPECTACULAR !!! it really looks the busniss
the only issue i see is those tiny pods, robbing you of horsepower
