Hello folks im new here .

Welcome to DTT Mark. You've got some nice scoots there. Look forward to seeing what you do with that Suzuki(?)...

Mark,

Nice bikes, but you do realize that no BSA C15/SS80 ever looked that good when it was made.. Nice one.

Z bikes can look good in a sort of tribute to teh 60's cafe style and can look even better as an ELR/Freeie replica with the AMA Superbike look. Of course cafe racers were the first generation of Race Reps and ELR etc were more or less the American version through the eighties.

thanks for the warm welcome folks!


im not finished with the b40 yet, once i have done the kz ill pull it all apart and get the frame powdercoated and rebuild the wheels.

Teazer could you show me what you mean by " ELR/Freeie replica" thanks


plans for the kz are to put a zx7r complete front end on her (as i have one laying about)
and to turn her into a cafe racer (style) bike, but am open to suggestions as have never done this style before.


Thanks
Mark.
