cutting up the frame started as a dare from a friend. i removed the pannels and modded some vba pannels. this was no easy job as i had to make new inner panels. the old engine mounts wer cut off and a new mount was made, and fitted further up and back to give it its low stance. the back of the frame was cut and widend to get the back as wide and smooth as poss. the back light is of a 59 caddy frenched in to the rear. tye offcut from the light mount was then used on the front mudguard which is froma 1958 vespa to make the light mount which is a kitchen down light! the tool box is from a bajaj they do have some uses. this was welded to the frame and then plates were made so it flows in to the line of the frame as you can se the floor is cut and welded aroundthe leg shields to give a nicer shape.the frame has been deseamed and all unwanted holes welded up.the front forks use the original leg with one of my hub conversions,and a very shortend shock and yes ride,handling and brakes are very good! the bars are lamy ld with a much modded mountain bike stem all cables arewhite and nylon lined.it is fitted with a cd/dvd/tv/ radio in the tool box lid with a mount made from mdf and molded in there is a rear view camera in the back that gives a picture of whats going on behind ona screen up front.the seat is hand made and covered in green metal flake by a hull company. the engine is t5 that i stripped had bead blasted and painted to match the body colour, which is candy apple green.it has a standard t5 top end but it was ported along with the cases to make it go. the exhaust was made with the u bend reverse end can to sound different and give more top end revs. it runs a 22 tooth cosa cluch and sits easily at 70 all day long. and yes this bike is used almost every day. the floor runners are from a lamy model d. all the work was done by me except the final filling and paint that was done by kb paint shop in hull. cheers ken. and all chrome and pollishing done by quality chrome in hull. cheers carl.
