Re: CF50 Progress update

Still quite a few bits to do, need to source some new fittings fo my off take as the current ones hit the frame, then plumb in the cooler, need some brackets machined for the front mudguard, new fuel tap lever being machined, have ridden it and its surprisingly comfortable for such a low slung machine, the pics dont show the colour well but its candy apple metal flake, with pearl white mudguards, 4.0J wheels front and back!!

Few more pics.









Cheers,

Victor

In yankee English you're saying, "If I rode that through town, they'd savagely beat me again and again." Is that what you're saying?

vmlopes- brilliant work that is. Congrats for building such a nice machine.

No I dont worry about riding it through town, to be fair most people love it and the monkey, but aren't we all a bit weird riding kids bikes.............lol. I think that most bikers really dig it though.
The reason for building it is that they are few and far between here in the UK, had to import basically a rolling chassis from Japan and then ground up rebuild and re-wire.
Do you guys see these over there.
Thanks for the comments..........all of them.........lol
