Well since WT is giving us the run down as he builds his bike into wheelie perfection I thought I'd do the same. He's a few photos of it as it's been changing.

I bought the Blade to turn into a stunt bike. Been slowly hacking away at it, so here she is as it stands a the mo'. Still got a wee way to go and I'll add photos of it as it takes place.

This is the day I bought it.

Very nice - looks much prettier than our fugly beast.

Nice sprocket there. Are you as proud of yours as WT is of his (to the point of taking it along to the KB track day, displaying it at the front of our pit and dragging people along to admire it)?

Help a newbie...whats special about the sprocket? Is it heavy so it acts like a heavy flywheel maybe...?

The extra weigh will in theory stabalize the rear more while doing a stoppie or shoot it up higher if you rear brake with the wheel off the ground......

That being said it probably won't make feck all difference in that department:killingme :killingme

Nice one mate... as sson as i flag the student lifestyle/get some money somehow i hope to undertake a similar project.... Not really trying too much stuff as I don't want to wreck my only mode of transport:slap:

Say larriken, did you drill the upper yoke and bolt the handlebar risers in or did you get a completely new yolk with risers?

I just went straight through the original top yoke and bolted it on. Took a little bit of frigging around. Mostly changing brake lines etc to get it all to fit. It is very good once it's done though, and even though it's a shitter people are still interested in it cos it's a bit different. I'll post up some pics of the top at some stage.
