Love it, what sort of pipe will he be running?
Love the tank, custom front wire loop to fit the 73 frame, could use 1 of those myself

He's running a GMC pipe Tony, you should see the tank in person, the white is a pearl, absolutely beautiful....awesome in the sun.

That's a little pearl alright! Even the black wheels look great......I'm really glad he decided not to paint the hubs bright gold like many CZ punters seem to do. What's that finish on top of the tank? Some kind of carbon fibre adhesive? I've got just the job for that stuff  :).

Who's the forum punter who reckoned three years ago that pre 75 is dead and buried? As long as bikes like this keep emerging from sheds, that prophecy looks even dumber ;)

Firko, the whole tank is paint, even the red pinstripe......the carbon is a process called "immersion imaging"....google it....very tough....harder than powdercoat. Being young, Lochie wasn't afraid to take a punt on something different, so we did it and it looks great. We have done some wheel hubs in the carbon for a customer and they look great too. Engine brackets etc look good aswell.

Questions....Who does it that I can trust? Is it expensive? is it suitable for a fibreglass?
I'm not so much into it for a classic bike but think that it might be cool on some of the components on one of my dirt trackers.

Nice Resto on the Zed love the Paint  ;D

Warning on running with the seat as is.  Any CZ owner will tell you that you must run with the std style Zed seat with side flaps and warp around with press stud at the front, other wise the air filter will just act as a catch can for every bit of crap you ride over, water/dust/rocks will all end up in the bottom of that air cleaner stuffing your nice new motor in a day

From a lesson learnt the hard way   :D

Cheers

Will do John....I had a look at a number of websites that do it on bike tanks such as http://grandprixspeedworks.com/Graphics.php  (http://grandprixspeedworks.com/Graphics.php) and I'm getting some interesting ideas ;).
