They both look great I think the red looks pretty good though.
-
There both bloody nice Paul 8) but i would have to choose the red :)
The 78 79 style Maico are my favorite Maico , i really like the 79 models but prefer the 78 short side panels :)
One day i will get one ;D
-
Hey Paul,
they both look shithot but to be honest i couldn`t pick a favorite until you and i took them both for a ride, ha ha what do you think. Are we riding them.? ;D

Ok Paul,
you have twisted my arm. I will accept your offer of sponsorship and would love to race your bikes. Deal.? 8)
( i can hear the answer already and it starts with F and ends with off )

Me too....the red one gets my vote, it's sweet. The yellow one would look much nicer if the tank was painted yellow for whatever my opinions worth.
For a while now I've been thinking of building a 350 version once I've cleard the shed backlog. All I've got is a Thor swingarm, a set of 15" Works shocks and an '81 250 donor motor but it's a start ;D the other stuff will appear when and if I decide to build it. ;)
-
Yellow does it for me ....maybe beacause it blends in with the back ground better ( green ) not the fence :)
-
I like them both but the yellow is cool cos it's a bit different.
When do we get a test ride Paul?
-
Yup both are bloody bloody nice! 8) just a thought, I reckon the black wheels would look good on the yellow bike and the gold on the red but eh..did I mention they both look bloody nice 8)
-
yellow easy- red is nice but black rims nuh
-
Red by a long shot paul... Gold rims would be a nice touch for myself. Can i ride it..... :D :D
Too nice for that :-\
-
Hey bud, what mod's would you have to do to mount the alloy tank to the '81?
-
brad it shouldnt be too hard ,the 79 tank mounts with a bolt though the frame with a rubber grommet in each side off the tank at the frount ,i might try one this week and see
-
Yeah they're nice alright. Very 'pretty'. Can I have the yellow one (with a chain on it please)...... :-*
-
Hmmm
Like both colours but lean towards the red and bloody nice Frankens they are too !!! The silver and yellow bike looks spindly - sort of light weight. An illusion due to the lighter colours?
Definitely the gold rims on Red and black rims on Yellow.
And send the sliders up from the yellow and I'll spruce em up - have they been done with a wire brush?
Cheers
Dave Mac :)

So what's involved in making a franken bike?
I am gearing up to give my 490 a big do over including bling and am confident I can get a frame.
I was leaning towards a white bike but am now keen on the yellow between yours and seeing this tank on the bay.

brad do you want to build a franken bike or are you going to finish your 81
-
Both. My racer is a GS frame so I am keen to do a Franken bike with it. The MC is still down the list a fair bit.
Are the shocks the same length as thee '81?
Do you have to modify the frame?
-
franken bikes are 79 /78 frames so your going to use your 81 gs as a donor bike /ring me tomorrow
-
Yep!....ring ring....
-
red for me
