Hi y'all (Hareaway)

[Hareaway]

Been lurking for a while .

Have had bikes all my life , enduro bikes lately, have a KLX 450 that is used for farm work and trail rides .

I help to organise trail rides , normally 2 a year .

Just bought a GB 400 off TM that i am turning into a brat bike/ bar hopper .
Well thats the plan , have just redone pipes to shortys under the frame and while taking it for a spin noticed the cam chain rattling .
So have just started breaking it down , earlier than i planned but am enjoying it , love the thumpers .

Anyway enough crap ,nice to be here .
And when i fuck up the cam chain replacement i hope you guys will help or laugh .

Wheel back on while trying to work out rear fender placement and where to cut the frame . Think i will use the old front fender on the back . My seat will hopefully evolve to something more comfortable .

Hay there Hareaway, l may be wrong but that looks like the front end of a BMW behind the Triumph hardtail in the 2nd photo :cool:

The Honda came out pretty cool. I thought you were going with green :innocent: but I'm glad you didn't.

[fridayflash]

cool projects you have there..did you strip the paint off the gb tank? looks good. you picked a good base for that style of custom.......aircooled single, twinshock etc.i used to have a gb500, still miss it...fastest gravel bike ever!

[Hareaway]

Thanks , yeah the honda tank is just stripped and brushed , has some dints and stuff but gives it some character .
