New project "Bunny"

[Redmohawk]

Ok boys and girls I'm going to put betty in the shed and give her a fuel injection supercharger makeover but first I need another bike to ride while she is on the operation table! So a new project because i just hate doing things the easy way and I'm currently in love with the look of this little jigger below. A few photos to get the ball rolling First the Insperation for project "Bunny"

Ok so I want to make life a little easyer on myself while keeping the Theme of bunny as close to the insperation bike so front suspention is going to be coventional upsidedown forks with trippel clamps, but to get the lines right they will need to be very very short ! So here they are, And yes I'm mad!

luv ur insipiration bike mate boardtracker from dirt hey?! [8D]

Yeah I love it, Using the upside down forks from what we call a pit bike over here (pit bike is a miniture dirt bike) This one set me back $100 Aus the forks are about 630 or 730 mm long depending on what bike you get. A set of forks cost $125 new so i'll part out the rest of the bike to pay/swap for other bits. I'm chasing a singal cyl motor with similar shape and 4 stroke to the one in the top pic and a set of nice wheels as above also next.

I reckon one of these would be easy to build, just leave the farings off it.

That looks like the box alloy pit bike frame on the donor mate. If it is, it's the strongest out there for pit bikes and you should be able to get a couple hundred $ just for the frame.

Beaza yeah i'm planing on parting it out for cash or swap for other bits for the bike if you know anybody interested ? Was a steal at $100 compleat the only thing wrong with the bike is the fuel tank is the wrong one for the bike.

Ivan , love the idea ! But this ones being built for the look more than the go, would be nice if it could cruze at highway speeds though lol

bwahaha thanks for elucidations mate over here we call em the soime [:p] but i thought ur out to borrow the idea of sadomasochistic suspentions for ur pit either ;)

Surt I'm crazy sure but that suspention in the top pick is a handfull of issues just the limited travel on the road for a start ! let alone trying to get it to work an any kind of fashion that keeps it on the road lol I love the look so much that after mark1 is done (Bunny I'm calling her) I might even have a go at something very similar to that nightmare. It just looks so fucking sexy !
