[Kwaka-Kid]

here they are guys! i wont pos tthem all, jsut 5 or so.. from when i first got it.. untill a few days ago.. heres what it first looked like..

[Kwaka-Kid]

this is without a tank.. but with primed fibreglass fairing i found + matching tailpiece

[Kwaka-Kid]

my bad.. fake post..

[Kwaka-Kid]

this is with my old man + the tailpiece i found which was on his bike, funny enuf same colours as my origonal tank! + btw that man who stands there is god. +thanks to him on here publically to you guys as much as we can get frustrated with eachother when working on a bike together it all works out in the end.. always has, always does, always will! thanks dad!

[Kwaka-Kid]

now heres kinda what it looks like atm.. oh and the pipe is put like that to show you what it looks like... it now has NC30 black/silver tank + another diff fibreglass tailpiece i found/modified/am still fibreglassing to fit properly to this day

[Kwaka-Kid]

and here you have it... one mint racebike + its happy owner... oh and sorry last 2 pix dont have front fairing.. its so hard to find good mounting places without using masking tape.. but it will b on sometime in near future... oh and also - dont tell my old man i said nice stuff about him on here.. might think im going all soft or some batty-boy, tree huggin, whackybacky lovin, dog humpin homo stuff like that

Hey PIP,

I think the sequence is backwards, aren't you supposed to start out
with bits and end up with a finished bike?

[curious george]

The death of another fine bike. *sigh*
What did you do with the forks?
Ok we belive you now, you do have a bike.
Did you decide on Tyres yet?
Ready by Track time?

[aff-man]

It has potential for greatness if it get's finished ( maybe i'm biased GO THE MIGHTY V4)

[Coldkiwi]

maybe its v4 bias... maybe you can see some class that I can't!

hehe

good on you for commiting to it but LETS SEE THE DAMN THING ON THE TRACK!!!

[Kwaka-Kid]

[RiceBurner]

2 things ....

Is that a RD530YPVS fairing?? cos it doesn't half look like one!!


What's the othee bike???? it looks suspiciously like my old Ducati TL600!!!



What happened to the original bike? was it dropped and you decided to track it? (newbie here).

Hope it goes well!

[Kwaka-Kid]

fairing = unsure

other bike = street fighterd 1978 GS1000

nah, bought the bike as it had just come into NZ. no rgo etc, so thought i would track it.. but didnt like origonal fairings :P thought i could do better then Mr. Honda :P
