yeah i thought about that. i got a bit of a thing about hairpins at the moment tho.
man it's like sittin on a cushion of air compared to my sporty

side mount plate & model a light fitted

I think lifting the seat up a bit on the springs gives you that nice space before the rear guard that helps it look different. Looking good.

Indicators on. Plan is to put fender struts on tommorow & finish wiring. also got some new sidecovers from hongkong that will need some wangle dangling to fit ( the left one was missing).

taking shape now, like the light!

real tidy bike by the look, very clean, see in the hubs and around the motor.. nice

why do the sidecovers i got from hongkong say 'ZHONGSHIN' inside them, whereas the old cover said Honda or suchlike. They look identical, that's all that matters. and they came in black, which was handy.
wired up now. brackets in place for mounting fender. planning to bolt on fender tommorow (letting the lacquer harden).

yeah, it's the blue collar bobber fender kit
they do them for savages, shadows, etc
mine was in primer. i think it's interesting how they do some with the colour scheme in the gelcoat (see lower down on the same page, stars n stripes design etc).

im thinkin of maybe doin a savage next?

is done

Ok you win Brett that's the fastest build Ive ever seen. Hey and it looks great too, Now go and see if you can keep up with the Harley's.
What are your plans for it mate?

sellin it.
i think it might suit a learner who wants something a bit cooler than all the stock viragos, intruders etc, or a harley dude who wants a learner bike for his wife.
i just got bored & wanted to do one of these.

Good for you mate, Job well done. Whats next dude?

not sure yet. will need some hours of quiet bliss in front of my computer without my teenagers askin me things and then see what comes to me.

Nice one Brett. That is a real example of how you can create something cool at a reasonable cost and in a short time. Wish I could finish mine that quick. I'm interested to see how quickly it sells.

Yeah much better, Ha I'm awake again now.
Would you make me one of those for my build Brett?

Definite improvement. I recognise a lot of those bikes from the Sportster thread on the Jockey Journal. I like Sportsters.
Sara was at the shop today and there was a fat guy on a new Nightster. He couldn't find the side stand but he was still acting the hard man. He said to Sara, "What are you looking at".
"The girls bike" she said and walked off. He was too fat and slow to get off the bike and chase her. Classic.
