    most proud of this one, bought for £350, had to travel halfway up the country to get it but it was definatley worth it, was stolen/recovered and had been sitting in dry storage since 2004, few proken panels and parts missing, that soon got sorted and this is the end result.....

    alot of graft and long hours spent searching for parts/putting those parts together and getting these bikes how i wanted them.

    Didn't realise you got through that many lol. I wouldn't be able to sell them as they were I'd be too tempted to customize haha.

    yeah ive had a fair few, i resisted the mods because i appreciate standard looking runners more than most modded ones because theres modded ones everywhere but not many standard ones :thumbsup: if i can il put them back to standard or as close as.

    yeah gotta admit that one was a bit of an odd-ball, would of been alot nicer if the other side front panels where the same. i bought the panels off a mate, couldnt get hold of any decent pans to spray so had to settle for the oddball set even though theyve got a real nice finish to them.

    i just keep my eyes open for good deals, nothing in particular but i prefer to steer clear of the 50's just stick to 125s, 180s etc preferably 2 strokes, but starting to like the 4 strokes too as my 2 current projects are 4 strokes.

    havent just stuck to runners though ive done an old shape suzuki katana 50, a speedfight and a kawasaki KXF 250.
