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

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.
