Hi, I'm back !!! here are some pictures from my bike that has been finished and driven all this season. The tank has been painted with a blue hamered paint, and I have cut the tank logos in a 3mm alu sheet. I only used a hacksaw and a file to do it. I hope you will like it.

I'm finishing a '80 brat CB 650, and I would need Similar risers for my bike because the back tire is sometimes touching the underside of the seat. Do you have any drawing of your risers? Is it possible for you to send me these plans? Your bike is amazing. Type "Grutefruh" and you will find...

Hi, I haven't made a lot on the bike those last weeks, the back loop has been closed with a steel plate, the central frame stiffener has been moved down, it was clashing with the seat. The seat is still under progress, but will be soon finished.

Hi, Here are some new pics from my project. The loop has been bent 15° to the top, and it is also abit longer. Now the distance with the tire looks better. I found an old skate board, the tail is exactly 15°... Perfect. I removed the paint on the tank, it should be painted soon. I have changed...

Thank you guy's for your answers. I've spoken with a friend wo will help me. He's got a tube bend machine. So we will bend 10 or 15° to the top AND make it a bit longer (5 to 10 cm). I think that this will fit well. I want to keep the possibility to take somebody behind me.

Hi all, Wheels are back on the bike !!! I'm realy happy, it looks great (for me). But now, I understand why a lot of guy did bend the back loop to the top. The distance between frame and tire is very short. What should I do? Make the loop longer? Bend it with 10°? Let it like that? Here is the...
