Work has begun

#1 Unread post by XJRJohn »

Ive finally started work on one of my many projects.Not what i originally intented either.I have an old honda superdream ,That was going to be done up has a winter hack.We got a bit carried away.From starting out as a basic commuter bike its ended up somewhere between max max meets head on crash.Not even sure we can get it road legal but its worth a try.Attacked the back end with an angle grinder(My favorite cusotmizing tool).The front end comes off a cx500(And the tank).And if it can be made to fit the exhaust is off a kwak 636.And its black,very black.as soon as i can get hold of a camers ill see if i dare post pics.Pretty it aint,but its fun.xjrjohn

I madew it over to XJRJohns last night and discovered he is hiding this at the back of the garage...

Image

It's so hideous I love it... mmm angle grinder, angle grinder...

Image

Thinking about it hiding might be the wrong word to use...

Image

John says it's not quite done yet...

Image

Fear the angle grinder of rightousness for it sheers off the ends of unnessaercary framework!

Image

John disavowing any responcibility...

James tapped me up for transporting the motor for you, if your having it. Must say it looks interesting, will have to come and see it in the flesh.
