Back seat???



not sure it is a good idea, Isee thisbike as a light weight fun bike, perfect for the city or country lanes

Modelled by Bob



Stance







I'm happy with the stance, it looks kind of chunky which is what I wanted.. part bobber, part pre 65 trials, part cafe racer


O.K.. my drawing was pretty crap but you can see where I was ging.......

Details





















Lovely relaced wheels with powdercoated hubs, stainless spokes and super lightweight aluminium rims.. this thing will be so light... it will fly.


Nice ally rear guard with strut, beautiful Kustome tech handlabar controls and a lovel ally tank

small steps







the tank is now modified and some mudguards mocked up, the actual seat will br black, not brown, that little pad on the back isnt a pillion pad it's a pad so you can get your arse over the mudguard and lower yourself right down.. racer style.. may not use it though

box of bits



and a big box of random bits and bobs.


not sure if I am going to run a front mudguard yet or not

tyres



we will be running these front and back, 400-19 tyres for that KR chunky look

Beautiful



hand made aluminium silencers


my favourite parts so far

mock up







right, so this is a MOCK UP, the motor is bolted in tight but the wheels are just old mock up wheels I had lying around, thecorrect wheels and tyres will make a big difference, the handlebar riser is just the standard one until I have the correct ones delivered. It's really difficult to get an idea of how the bike will look untill we have the right parts but it will give you some idea of the overall lines of the bike, I am liking it, part pre 65 trials bike, part street tracker. it's going to be a lot of fun.

Frame

this is the frame i will be using, it's a frame i designed for my own flat tracker project it is based on a KR style frame but to house an evo sportster engine. I love the KR style loops on the back

hubs







the bloke I bough the bike off wasnt entirely truthful about the condition of the bike... thats no proble though the motor is good. we will use the hubs off the donor bike, these will be powdercoated silver and laced to 19" aluminium rims with stainless spoke and they are going to be the making of the bike

dirty work








right, so we have the motor out.. it looks a bit grubby as it is but it won't look like this when it's finished.. it will look super clean.




new beginings



O.k. so we are starting with a 5 speed evo sportster. All we are really going to use off this bike is the motor, forks, yokes and wheel hubs so lets get those bits off the bike
