Going back together now



yellow springs for that ohlins look



all important stickers

thats really nice how did he graft that Japanese writing on it

[TerraRoot]

liquid metal, think the writing stands for moriwaki

[wrighty]

I do like your choice of the bikes you post Terra....your very much into racing side of things,the old skool endurance racers and such like.

[dungbug]

Morning All, just want to say a quick thankyou to Terraroot for putting my bike up on here.

It's nearly there, got about 1 side of A4s worth of jobs left to do on it now.







Body work is just resting on it for now until i can sort the loom out

Cheers

Chris

Chris gotta say love your bike.....done a fantastic job mate.

I'd say u've done this before , any pics of past bikes?

[elgringo]

Cheers Wrighty,

Yeah i've done a couple,

last one was a hybrid Suzuki RG125F with an RM250 motocross engine in it (track bike).





and my big one, GSXR1216 that was in Streetfighters magazine last year.













Cheers

Chris

That GSXR1216 looks lovely. There was a Z400 for sale at the MOT place I was at this morning, probably a good thing that I don't have a full license otherwise I would have been painfully tempted.....He joked he'd do me a p/x on the GN as well. ;D

[TerraRoot]

an rg250? god that sounds sweet, does it has similar mounts? nakid pics? my own rg (later then yours with the wider rear) is literally rusting away at the mo (tanks gone, frames cracked) i used it for tracks day too but on go-kart tracks. just another thing to fix one of these days.

[elgringo]

Morning guys, thanks for the comments.

The RG is the later one with the 140 rear, the only mount that is the same is the rear through the swingarm.

The rest were cut off and re welded.

Looks a bit like this with its clothes off.





Cheers

Chris
