ok then. just got a bit bored on the computer so thought I would throw some pics of the ongoing project on the site.

more to come as the engine is now in and most of the wiring
done. Just need to meet up with SKIDS for the elusive callipers. a sprinkling of titanium and hey presto. a bike which I will never want to sniff moisture. cheers all. K

:cool:

Looking very trick indeed mate. I love the pic of the bike as a rolling chassis in the bottom right corner.:devil:

I think that black frame with the ohlins forks looks cool. Should be a very nice bike indeed. It has certainly given me a few ideas!!!

Any chance of a few more in a larger size?;

do you mean my highly engineered slab of wood and upturned buckets ?.
I got fed up with getting a bad back and didn't have enough money for a pucka one. That cost me all of £6 and works a treat.
I'm cheap yes :P

Looking very sweet mate. I though you were doing the right thing when I saw the picture of the chassis in front of your fire-now you've gone and put it in the GARAGE-what sort of a bike builder are you? Don't you know she deserves to be mollycoddled in front of the fire, or at least a radiator!:lol::lol:

wheels which were supplied by the Nat. have just been painted black.
and the callipers which I swapped with Skids have been irrigated and cleaned.
which took some doing. (thanks any way mate)
just got to get the exhaust out the loft now. give it a buff and my creation will nearly be finished. :borg::eureka::frog::P

Great piccies Keefer!

Theres something about a bike in a semi-built/rolling chassis 'pose' that makes me go all funny!

I've been building up the courage to strip one of mine down to like this...I think next winter will see it happen.

Bike porn...don't you just love it:rolleye:

Not my fault Honest

IF THAT TOE-RAG DJTERA HAD RETURN THE BETTER CALLIPERS HE BORROWED FROM ME 6 MONTHS AGO THEN YOU WOULD HAVE HAD LESS WORK TO DO AND HAD THEM SOONER.
WILL I EVER SEE THEM AGAIN, NOT REALLY IN THE DSC SPIRIT IS IT :mad:

Looks the muts nuts mate.
Will we get a pic of the finished product.
I agree with a previous posting, a running chassis looks the business.

Thats a fine looking machine and the yellow with a black frame looks really smart. Nice one, it should look the mutts when its all together.
