Welcome mate, liking that allot,

Like the black frame, did you have that done or did they come like that standard?!

Oh and mine is a Crate of CORONA please!

**Dave996** · 21 Sep 06, 03:17 PM

Stripped it down last winter and had the frame, subframe, swingarm, headlight bucket, top/bottom yoke and wheels done.

Enjoy ur drink

Must admit i was thinking of doing mine over the winter, as i thought it would look better in the black, Just didnt know how it would effect the Value of it?!

It looks 8) tho!!

Just need the Wheels first!

**Dave996** · 21 Sep 06, 03:37 PM

I did wonder about the value, but then I thought what the hell and just did it anyway, and I think if someone likes it they will pay for it. (if I ever sell).

If you do do it yourself, make sure you take plenty of photo's of the strip down so you remember where everything goes

**Ollie** · 21 Sep 06, 04:00 PM

LOL yeah at the end of the day i keep thinking about selling mine, but i know i will end up keeping it!!

As for building bikes they are easy compared to cars, plus building bikes is what i do lol

I think i will still do it so i have the pictures there for i f and when i do sell so it can be seen as just a project,

Still i really do like it, i take it you powdercoated it all??!

Yup had it all powdercoated.

I think my next one I'll do with a red frame and a black subframe though.

Yup had it all powdercoated. But I ended up fitting an anodised top yoke.

Na fair play for having ago tho, and keeping a picture diary is sometimes what i do, like the cb1100 engine i built for someone recently, didnt even have a manual to build it.... or take it apart...

As for the other colour scheme that is wha i was just thinking off dam you lol

Really liking the black tho, GOing to sort all the cars out in the garage and see if there is room to do it!
