trend killer replica build ?

[CookMySock]

Anyone built a trend killer from bits ? It looks like the bike itself is vapourware, and there's no real kit of parts to build from, so it will be a scratch-build, and probably GV250 based unless I can find a MINT GV650 for cheap.

Maybe looking to start later in the year.

With the money that would have to be thrown at it - you would probably be better off buying another bike that has a bigger aftermarket, market.

Unless you have some unnatural fixation with HoBags - there is no logic in trying to build that bike.

And remember - when it comes time to sell you are going to drop a ton.

Hmm, I thought there was a kit for it - as discussed in the trend killer thread

[CookMySock]

yeah there is (was?) a kit.

But I can't find anything on their site, and and it also crashes firefox and epiphany browsers so I gave up looking. It will be megabucks too, I am sure.

A set of chrome dirtbike bars with a shorty epoxy/carbon fibre rear-end to start with. Pipes will be a little more involved.

Is a fat rear wheel available locally ?

Fat rear wheel? Rims and tires all the same, just phone around until you find what you want. But be careful as clearances are important!

Did you look up the trend killer thread on KB? I'm sure it had a link to the kit
