***THESE PICS DO NOT BELONG TO ME / IF YOU OWN THE PICS AND WOULD LIKE THEM TAKEN DOWN PLEASE LET ME KNOW***

This is one of the million or so bikes in Europe that is just amazing (they go hardcore)

Its also very very similiar to my plans for my 1981 Z50R (I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery)

This bike shows me what alot of my plans will look like
-relocate shock (single shock)
-swingarm work
-underseat or under engine exhaust (ala Buell)
-very minimalistic / futuristic look (lots of raw finishes and lots of silver)

This bike is almost exactly what I want to do with my 81

Yeah, alot of it is kinda off limits for me

The rear sets / swingarm for example are a little above budget for this build.

If those are 30mm NSR50 style forks, using NSR50 spacing... I want those clamps! : )

Thats what the front end is?

The wheels are G-craft right?, wish they weren't so expensive

If that's what you want, I hope you're really, really, rich.

Its what I want, but its not necessarily what I am willing to spend.

Kinda hard with the K2 restoration project going at the same time

Whats up with the clutch cover ? I like that look.

Does anybody know where to get the little cover that goes over the adjustment arm the one like on a simple TB style manual clutch kit has I want the one with the holes threw it.

OK, I understand.... some guys need to buy from MonkeyBike UK... makes me laugh every single day!

Lol, yea but fabricating is a lot easier said than done, especially if you don't have direct access to machinery. I wouldn't doubt a lot more people would make their own parts if they had the resources to.

The wheels are most likely blue Kitacos, which are a bit more affordable.

3cyl, so do you still want my handlebars and controls?? no one is getting back to me

have to take some pics of the ducati style "underseat" exhaust installed on my son's monkey sidecar bike.

here is another idea, mate has designed this dual muffler exhaust for his 176cc Honda Nice Monster bike....

Seems like a lot of work! why not just buy one from Monkeybikeuk? so much less stress

Dilligaf loves to custom fab his own stuff.

P.S. got my seat thanks!

That Z is one of the coolest custom's i have seen. Good job to the builder.

stormy · 12-10-2006, 07:39 PM

I'm not a rocket scientist but looks like they just mounted the swinger upside down for the buell look?
