I thought I'd add this because it used to be on here and some people may want to see it as it's in the banner too. The update ages ago lost it but tErr0 managed to recover it :mrgreen: This has been copied over so some bits may need updating or rewording. Well it's finally come to a end, I have got everything I wanted to fit on my bike..no more money to be spent now! This is how it came in april '05..totally standard, no mods at all..mint I was buying all the little accessories and keeping them until I got my paintjob..the paintjob came earlier than I thought..in august I came off and broke my leg, bike just needed a new panel..over the 9 weeks, the bike was stripped, more goodies bought with my sick pay (was only with my job 2 months before this happened and was only mean't to get 2 weeks sick pay not 9 lol :banana: )..and it turned out like this.. Those pictures were taken in august..after a few months alot more mods were made, I think you will be able to notice them.. Well there's all the stages of my project, got a few more photos lying around, got my 'RUNNER-UP CUSTOM AUTO' trophy from it which I'm very happy with..now hopefully TAG mag.

I got excited then thinkin it woz ur new project, then after looks 4 longer than i shud have i realised wen lookin at the topic title it woz ur old 1 lol. Damn this bike woz so noice in the Flesh, i think i miss it just as much as u do mate lol
still brings a tear to my eye. in my eyes the best runner there has been. i remember all the hype about vx forks and the runners that came 1st and second in 2006 has old styles and they won by miles good luck with your new project :mrgreen:
Lol James yeah I thought people may mistake this for my next one (almost bought one yesterday!) Yeah do miss is but just makes me want to make another one to remind me of it when I did have it. Aww thanks Monty :hello: haha. Yeah those were the days hehe. The bike was finished in 2005 and when it went to A.S.S. in 2006 the amount of people that hadn't heard of KOSO clocks yet was mad, now they're quite common. Same with alot of stuff on the bike, LED indicators and handlebar indicators, the quad lights etc. Cheers Monty, next project may be on the way soon, was down the garden hacking about with a random panel today
problem wiht ace is if you want your bike judged you have to leave it there for hours... nobody i knew could be fucked. too busy wheelying about. (im in a few of those pics with my big black jacket on) but ye.. still was a fucking nice bike, forks and stock engine let it down
Hehe yeah those were the days. Minor, they were next on the list, VXs and different rear shock. Imagine if I still had it now..3 years on, the bike would have VXs, different rear shock, renthals, maybe other couple bits but the engine would of been done to the max by now
