Old vs New

[Fergie]

The bike looks great is that a rear sub frame from another bike.? I have been offered 'the flying brick' at a great price and fancy doing something similar..... Keep posting the pictures!!!!

Yeah yeah take the piss :laugh: its uglier than a melted welly (thumbs)

ive used it everyday for 3months and to my surprise I love the bloody thing,its comfy,wind protection is second to none,has all the gizmos (abs,leccy screen,heated grips and a bloody stereo :laugh: )

Its quick for what it is and its returning 50ish mpg

Parts are cheap and in the near 3000 miles ive done it its cost feck all to run other than service parts,The finish is far surperior than newer bikes

Im starting to think why do I bother with newer bikes at all

Plan is over the next few weeks is to get the stihl saw and welder on it (street scrambler style)

BMW K's are the best kept secret of all time.The actual holy grail of motorcycles. Please stop ringing their praises or the prices will increase.

Original subframe which we cut about 6 inches our of and then changed the angle of the rear section and remover all the unrequited lugs and things .

Its quite expensive to buy a aftermarket per made subframe and seat base , chopping the original only cost me £4 for the extra bits of steel I needed. (thumbs)

wheeled outside for the first time in almost 2 months today. The subframe and rear mudguard will be ready tomorrow .

I dropped the seat base off at the seat maker's today and all being well that will be ready for me to pick up next Wednesday . So fingers crossed it's going to be finished before our original date of the 1st April.










Looks a little different than last time I had it out.

It's gonna be real smart

[Dazzer]

waiting waiting waiting ...Fingers crossed the seat will be ready this week then she's finished and will be ready for this seasons riding

[Dazzer]

Collected the seat today so that will be fitted tomorrow and thats it, bike complete.

Its taken me just under 2 months from start to finish.

Now all thats left is to put some miles on her.

That's a pretty impressive turnaround (thumbs)

How loud are those pipes going to be?

Got my seat for the DRZ yesterday off Tony Archer
