Picked this up on evilbay a while back, Buggered if i know why,
Vinduro'n maybe
Took off as much shite as possible, still aint no light weight though ::
Bought a tank off Canam370 Discount M/C ,an some shocks off Mainline, a few old Honda bits i had layin around
A session in the spray booth,a bit of surgery with the CIG spanner a hammer an pile of Carlton Draught,an ended up with this.
Hope this one dont land on me she'll do some damage

Neat as a pin as usual. Nice work. Are you painting in 2-pack or acrylic?
Can't believe you drank that much Carlton Draught though, maybe we get the leftovers up here

Been playin with 2 pak , It aint as hard as i was told, just like painting enamel, light coats a couple'a wet ones an it flows out , you dont use bugger all, and it shines like a shilling on a niggers arse
It is difficult necking a stubbie with the paint mask on though

Looks good, is that an old XL250-350 front wheel and forks? What's the swingarm off suits the bike well.

Yep, to go 21" XL front ,with the springs from the 500's forks, S/arms stock, I moved the mount to suit the length of the shocks.

Red, along with the side number plates certainly make it look faster.
Honda couldn’t have put the shock mounts much further back could they.
