    Pic 3 of the original post closely followed by the Injuns does it for me.
    The guy that built that is currently putting this together. Triumph powered, foot clutch and jockey shift, looking good. Love the oil tank!

    Get along to the City of Cycles show, it'll be there, October 26-28. W/e after Labour w/e.

    I just let some rein out, and it finds the hidden trails.
    Never knew the Waikato/King Country/Ruapehu districts very well until I steered onto the gravel. Theres some amazing country out there.

    I actually envy you. That bike looks like the good cross-over between road and trail, and you'd get all the views we hard-surface riders don't. Hope you take your camera wherever you go......

    I got a good frame made by Orb at Hogg Farm, Bombay Hills. More old school style though, not really a bobber. Take along some ideas and pictures and get a quote. Transferred most of the donor bike into the new frame.

    There is a lot to look at for inspiration on the intertweeb. Also I'm pretty sure there is a dude who builds frames and is a member of KB. Plus there are more than a few chop riders on this site as well who have modified/built their bikes. Just a case of getting them to come out and share their experiences I guess.
    any1 know how to get a hold of orb at hoggfarm

    The Rattlers forum no longer exists now. Some of the people who were congregating there are now here at the Custom Bikes NZ forum http://custombikesnz.forumotion.co.nz/
