For what purpose is Sir Frank going to be used? ???
For best VMX appearance I like the last pixie. 8)
-
The natural 125F clothing for my liking ;)
-
i like the RMN/T seat tank combo but would like to see it with the oval side plates just to see how that looks.
-
Lol....i want the standard combo but i still have to get a pipe in there somewhere so the rad guard will most likely have to go.
The N/T seat combo i like too....not sure about the blue frame.
The PE tank and rm seat looks kinda ballsie and tough,but i may have to sit the tank further back because the forks hit the tank on full lock.
mx250.....if sir frank turns out to be good rider,i'm trying for rec reg and use it for a woods bike and the occasional fang around the local mx track.
The WR450f might go to a good home and i could use the money elswhere i reckon.
Early days yet....cheers

This one will probably give you the least amount of grief when it comes to fitting the pipe.

I think the N/T seat/tank combo looks the best too. Ditch the rad guard, as it serves no purpose. Are we going to see this at VIPER this year?

Definitely as in the last pixie with black frame - trad look. ;) 8). Practical and good looking ;) ;D.
-
Definitely the last pic, N/T seat PE tank, D side covers, also needs cooler PE175Z Headlight (different to N/T)
RMs are on every street corner, but you don't see so many really trick bombed out PE s about.
PLUS in 1985 what you have just built would have been the hottest 175 Enduro bike in the club and everyone would have lusted after it. ;D
-
i like the look of the last photo it all seems the fit together properly ;).cheers gary

I'm with cyclegod. (picture 7)

pic #8 does it for me 8)
-
The last pic gets my vote
-
its the last pic for me to black seat pe tank looks good
-
Its up to you but I would leave the frame blue, then with gold rims and disc it looks like uber rare last of the PE175s.
-
since its air cooled i think its silly to keep the RM tank/radiator shrouds. You also might want to consider something like a DR200 tank or a yellow YZ tank or a custom made tank that uses the safety seat. An RM 465/500 tank also might work/look good.
-
i got one of those uber rare pe 175's
-
Leave frame blue and #1 & #2 pic looks like she ready to go NOW real Super Model stuff :o ...
.....last pic looks like a vinduro fat and forty :-X ;D
cheers
-
Keep em coming,all good ideas.
Even though i like the original look,the minus side is rad shrouds are not needed although 2 extra sub fuel tanks would have been handy but i need to squeeze a pipe in there.
The fuel petcock sits very close to the head.
The PE tank is the most practical for the woods...10 lts i think and matches the RM black seat,but the tank is very close to the forks on full lock but an easy fix.
It looks tough and kinda PE ish......but looks like its had a few meatpies.
The N/T combo also works and looks like it'll give me the most room for a pipe.
Infact they would all work with minimal mods.....the pipe decides the fate!
Viper...hmm i'm a hopeless rider and would probably get in everyones way....but you never know!
This is what the PE175 should have been in 1985 Marc...well it should have been a 200 by then.
cheers....mario
