February 25, 200917 yr comment_322319 nice man, I'm having very similar thoughts about either an old yami V twin, a honda xr650 or what you've done. You definately get my tick of approval Report
February 25, 200917 yr Author comment_322489 Yeh do it man. I'm yet to get a shock when I discover how much back pain I get but I just dig the idea of building it from the ground up! Report
February 25, 200917 yr comment_322509 very nice mate! OCC`s got nothing on your bikes!!! your kicking rear end! :lolcry: Report
March 8, 200917 yr Author comment_325696 Got the tank I bought on ebay. Still undecided if I like it though. I dropped it on the frame and its bloody gargantuan. I dig the profile, and the twin caps but its so damn wide and the squared off tail on it galls me just a little. I think I'll get the cutting disc on it and section 2 inches out of the centreline, and narrow the tunnel slightly. Report
March 8, 200917 yr comment_325713 I might section the tank by an inch or two if its a bit fat on the bike. Just do that and it should look alright. Report
March 8, 200917 yr comment_325777 yeah i reckon cut 2" of the center to make it more narrow?nice shot on your whale tail,what model is this porsche? Report
March 9, 200917 yr Author comment_325876 '78 SC. It's got a carrera badge on the back. Small shed, wide angle lens, was hard to snap a shot of the bike without getting that enormous whale tail in the photo! Once the damn Rolla is out of the shed, the Porsche is going in and I'll strip it for a respray. I'm going to get a second boot lid for it and I'll have one with the wing one without. Here's a proper piccie. Report
March 11, 200917 yr Author comment_326580 Just bought a Green Metalflake seat for this rocket! Yeah! Gaudy. Even If I don't use it I'll hang it on the wall, look the shit! I was thinking metalflake green as the main colour on the bike anyway, so if this is a good colour I'll be laughing. Report

March 12, 200917 yr Author comment_327011 I can't believe you signed up to post that comment. Gold. I don't have too many toys. You don't have enough! Watching another tank on Ebay right now.... An hour to go and its getting close to my top dollar figure.... Edited March 12, 200917 yr by philbey Report
March 23, 200917 yr Author comment_330325 Got my metalflake seat arrived in the post. Awesome, but now I'm rethinking my colour scheme slightly. I'm thinking metlaflake black base colour on the tank with white panels on the sides, similar on the rear gaurd. Scored a front end on the weekend as well, just need to sort out a rear wheel and Its basically ready to all bolt together! Report
April 26, 200917 yr Author comment_339803 Yeh some minor updates. Took the frame down to a welder last week for him to take a look at. I'll head round his place this week and we'll get it jigged up and welded. I've also managed to get the last major bits and pieces, I bought a stock front end and spoked wheel, and a spoked drum rear wheel went in the post for me yesterday. Once the welding's done then there's not much stopping me! Pics shortly.... Report
