Cheers guys!

It's not a tourer that's for sure ;D

Here is some moore build pics from this winter:

My "garage"

Wow! I thought I was cramped for space. I think that on a "per square foot" basis, you've got me beat in output tho'. Very nice work, I like the look of it a lot. I'm not riding it, so the riding position doesn't phase me ;-)

Gotta love the front end swap too. Nice work.

Is it just a weird photo, or is that rear not totally centred? Looks a bit off in this pic.

cheers

Cheers!

Yes youre right, me and the bike are cramped in that little space.
BUt if a have to choose between the garage at -17 Celsius and the bottom floor of my house, I'll choose the cramped space
About the wheel. I just think It's a wierd angle.

man if you are willing to show i would love to see how you do the Carbon fiber... that is just slick as hell! i am gettting ready to airbrush the effect but i am thinking more and more that i may wrap it instead

[panzaa]

[Swagger]

Your link doesn't show, did you remove it?

 

[panzaa]

No?

I can still se it.
Try a different browser?

One more layer of epoxy on the tank and fender.
Starting to look good ;D

My fingers are bleeding from all the bloody grindig..
Outside it's -15 Celsius, I wan't summer now :'(

Improvment or not from the dual headlight setup?

Damn I missed this! Awesome but i have to say I was reading thinking 'damn one of the first builds where a dual headlight setup looked good to me' and you swapped it. I liked the duals but its still killer!

 

[panzaa]

Thank's!

The quality of the light wherent as good as I had hoped .
Crap in fact :-X

The new 7" single is way better!
Going for the more "classic" style this time.

Sanding sanding sanding...
Just as fun as shuwing a pike up your arse :-X
Then why not look like a complete idiot?

 

[tWistedWheelz]

I don't think that mask is filtering the fumes!

 

[JRK5892]

man that is awesome! i really need to learn how to rock that... i thinik that is just awesome!!!

 

[thompsonmx100]

Yep the fumes are definitely getting to him. How long have you been sanding? Everytime I check this thread youre sanding Keep it up.

 

[panzaa]

My brain has the consitence of a rotten avocado ;D
The mask doesen't filter shit, Iv'e got others masks for polyester works.

Hmm.. I've been sanding since late december, about 2 months now.
It must be true then, I don't have a life :

 

[panzaa]

My first thought was that I had dropped something into the tank.
A mystic sound irritated me during the sanding.

My friends, never ever use a tank sealer after welding.
It's pure f*cking crap :-X

Spent half the day sweeping sno of my friends roof.
The spring is no where to be seen :'(

 

[IL8APEX]

So that was all tank sealer then? Yuck!

-T

 

[panzaa]

Certanly hope so.
I'll fill the tank with soap water later on and try to rinse out all the crap.

 

[panzaa]

Sanding update 18.0

Finished all but 2 parts now.
The tank and the small flyscreen remains.

Almost done ;D

 

[JRK5892]

ahhh man that looks fantastic!!!
