Must see CX500. Never mind the dogs bollocks, what about the muts nuts!

Sorry it's been long since my last last, but back at work now......and will be the five or six weeks before I can carry on with the bike.
However I will be able to answer any questions you may have.
So here is the last shot of the bike.
Catch up with you all later,

Now that...that looks good. I like the pinch mount at the back of the frame holding the pipes - did you make the silencer or is that something stock?
 
Hey Rich,

Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you; work just gets in the way!

As for the silencer......it's a custom car end can I got off eBay. I've got no idea what the bike is going to sound like, but looks kin ace!

MJPriceisright and miffa thanks for your comments, I'm back from work in 3 weeks time to crack on, I've got the seat unit with me finishing off with a bit of filler and sand paper.

As for the bike, it's not far off from the strip down ready for the spray job.

All that’s watching............any ideas on paint???? I'm open to ideas.

It'll sound great, the vee CX sounds good. There's a German guy on YouTube with a Peugeot car muffler on his CX500. I used a cut down carbon can (12") with my two into one exhaust. Great job, interesting rear end, Single sided S/A
Cheers, 50gary
 
I LOVE what your doing here, the rear subframe always look a bit odd to me and the single side swing arm is such a perfect fix for it.

You first effort with the English wheel is outstanding - nice work all round :)
 
Superb build and inspirational I'd to see it in the flesh when your done. Perhaps give me a shout I'm only down the road the other side of P'boro.
 
Thanks mate nice to read.
Do you ever have a ride out to Willingham Woods bike meet near Market Rasen, It's on every Wednesday evening?

I'm two minutes away.

Hey, whose entertainment do you think I'm here for, anyhow? ::)
 
Here’s a shot I found pre filler. I wanted to give the back end some character. So the bikes got eyes!
