i would expect to see more exhausr tape and brass.
That front end is itself of a iconic bike Gilera cx 125.
my old man said he called in at RNZAF Woodbourne and nearly cried as someone there was in the process of cutting off a completely intact vincent twin gearbox so the could use hardley 5 speed

Gilera with the cx125 only made 1000 bikes that 10% of how many vincent twins were made in 1953. let alone the comets.
Just looked it looks like 3000 comets all up.

roy gardner and it wasn't a complete engine at all

it was ex speedway and already chopped, Roy would have been getting it sorted, what sort of harley boxes were five speed back then?

I think all 1340 evos were all 5 speed.

That's by no means the ugliest BM I've seen. For some strange reason they attract the tasteless modifiers.

Yeah, nothing special.

its ucking confused like a bread box as a seat cowl, modern race can, fairing from the 70's tanks just an abortion as its missing plastics... fuck me no onder kids these day dont know if they are hip, homo, trans, polly, them, it they...

[FJRider]

So, ya weld whatever shit is lying in the yard and call that a project. Then try and get paid for the scrap you've just made harder to remove.
Awesome!

I like the "Can bring closer to town" comment. The law enforcers might prefer it to stay where it is.

It would give the term "Home built" a bad name ... and heavy enough with it empty.

few have got their original belly pans, they were a weak spot. $70 and the bit you look at, the dash and surrounding foam is wrinkled, Piccies show very little actual condition, more like a brochure, wonder what it's really like and where's the original front brakes and pipes?

[Laava]

That is fucking ridiculous money

That is fucking ridiculous money

for that yes, for a good original nz colour scheme one not these days, it's the going rate

a wee bit over the top but not much, look on the aussie bike sales site they go from 30K up to 90K
and some came out with out the belly pan, considering this is a jap import it may never have had one.
