ok... ok ... so now ive smashed the dogshit out of the T-A... looking at options .. the front fairings are toast .. so are the forks .. frame, rims and brakes are fine also


so .. as above .. which direction?

[hospitalfood]

to hard to vote, if you want to sell go OEM rebuild
if you make a fighter it has to be a good end product or its not worth it
customs are well cool though if they are nicely done

yea...i tend to hold onto my bikes .. i hunt high and low for the right bike and dont tend to sell out


i hate bodged up streetfighters.. right or not at all..



the guy thats painting it is really really good so im not worried about quality too much.. we've been talking about some wild paint since it happened

[hospitalfood]

[nosebleed]

Yup.....
I am the first to vote for Standard OEM Rebuild.....

I guess it is me, but I prefer to see bikes as they came out of the factory, and think they never look when somebody tries to do their own thing....

I guess it is those cr@p jobs that have put me off.....

All that said, I have seen a few classics that have new clothes and modern paint schemes that look "the dogs bollocks" (that is excellent, or words to that effect, in case you didn't know).

Like i said .. the guy who is rebuilding the TA is a very good painter and a biker himself..( he was actually behind me when i stacked it .. ) im not into gaudy disco paint but im leaning towards ' different'

[Kflasher]

ok...which direction?

Perfect time for you to create your own master piece; let your creative juices flow and show us what you are capable of… “you can do it”

[ManDownUnder]

Forks - find some on ebay, the dollar is good right now - get them drop shipped to a friend of mine and I'll bring 'em home for you next time I'm up there?

Might be able to get a few plastic bits too...

What year is it?

[vifferman]

Oh, Sarge! I'm SO disappointed in you.
I thought you were some roughty-toughty hard-ass bastidge, and here you are trying to design a bike's new paint job by committee.
For shame, Sir!
Unless... you're just yanking the collective KB chain, and you have summat else in mind, entirely different to any of the options.

FWIW, if I was voting, I'd go for the "no holds barred" option.

[007XX]

A nicely made streetfighter! I easily picture you on one of these...Madmax'll be a pussy next to you!

[ManDownUnder]

Conditionally go with the first option.

If it's a long term keeper then do the spooky, otherwise OEM for resale reasons

[R6_kid:Me]

Go crazy spooky on it, but maybe more 'show bike' orientated? Best of both worlds?

Arent ALL my bikes long-term keepers ? ( 6 years with Spooky so far .. )
