Few more pictures to keep everyone updated .
Thought would share some pics of whats been keeping me off my gixxer lately what do you think ? Not everyones cup of tea but keeping my hands dirty..

Interesting. With you riding, I can see why it needs to be covered in hazard tape

I'd also suggest getting out plenty on a bicycle between now and the bike hitting the road - that way your arse will be a little prepared for the pounding the hardtails gonna give it .......

I like the look of it, the black and white screams old skool cool.

I think the hard tail will kill the kidneys but hey ho.

Considering what it looked like to start off with and the problems you have had to overcome I reckon it's bang on.

Keep on with the posting....

Looks like the hardtail's already shaken away the rear wheel & mudguard!!

Living the T-Bars, keeping with the period look, just needs some girder forks for the full effect.

Main problem will be what to wear with it, suppose matt black open like & leather jacket.

From my memory when most of us started on bikes, this kind of chopper was with it's 3/4th and probably last owner who were bodging them badly and invaribly rode with crash damaged Stadium lids with a fag - if you saw one you'd know what I mean.

Like this then Graham

Uncanny that photo looks like me !!

That was Bideford Sept 1973 mate , A couple of the Plymouth drifters gang that used to ride to Bideford at the weekends, on bikes like Graham describes

Not '73 for me Merv, may be 10 years later.
