got a couple of little yoshi cans to go on it maybe next week :D

[zx12argh]

sorry jim but that head light... whats going on? it looks like a faired bandit...

[hooligan]

It needs to come down and in.... a lot. at the moment it's out past the front guard. You'll need to get it in much closer to the forks. I don't mind it to much in the front on pic, though.

[Jockney Rebel]

thanks for the input guys ...i thot it was a bit far out [sic] but its the headlamp bucket thats the problem it wont come back any further so i guess ill have to make a mount for it or,,,,,,,, mount it to the forks

pete ive always liked the look of the front on a pug scooter the lines along the side line up nicely with the tank indents
so i thot id try it on this ,i still like it but now ive studied it it needs mounting on the forks

[latheboy]

Cut it off bud and bin it .... gotta be somfin better .. dont want to hurt your feelings but its gay as aids

[Jockney Rebel]

welll i guess its back to the drawing board then ......nah i still like it

[Blackkat]

what they said, make a bracket or bin it.

[gibbo]

I reckon you're just trying to be different, most on here start with a faired bike and strip it [8D], you on the other hand bought a naked bike and are putting fairngs on it [:0].
I don't think it suits but then again I doubt you are going to become the first person to give a fuck about my opinion :(
Good luck with it Jim, luvin those speed tripples.

[latheboy]

If you dropped it about 100mm and pulled it back hard to the forks it could work .. I sounded like a prick before sorry ..

this site is all about telling it as it is
get the dremel, have some dutch courage and you'll never look back ;)

[zx12argh]

on ya fimp - I was just about to do the same paint trick as you've just done - I reckon Jim if you can get it that close you'll have a winner - and you wont have just another fighter with those god awful round twin lights... like I've currently got ;)

[pommie]

that look much better. now get out the hacksaw

[Jockney Rebel]

wicked thanks guys im on it just need some brackets by the way these arrived to day ..much smaller than i expected but erm loud as...i tried them on the bike but they look sort of too small same length as the originals but about half the width

WOW thats bloody beautiful Jim ;)and BTW the triples horn! the way fimp photo shopped it I thinks will look great

[fimpBIKES]

hey, sexy is what i do! :D


where is the pics with the yoshi's???
but they look fukkin tops (especially if you have ditched the rear mud-gaurd thingy)

[Jockney Rebel]

these cost me ...$100 each....... chinky copys [ im not tellin u what their designed for cos its embarrisin];]
ill get em fitted properly this week [ me neighbors didnt think much of me firin her up at 2 am lost track of the time ] after the bikes gone in for its first service
btw ta fimp for the photo shoppy ting man i can now see what i have to do looks heaps better[ plus ive got to put it on after me mate spent time paintin the thing for free

[Gix11]

Bit late on this one, but yea Jim, the pug scooter front was popular a few years back, never caught on over here. I was going to say the same as everyone else after your first post, in and down mate. What Fimp did will make it look right, not only that, I think it looks good. Totally different mate and it will keep 'em guessing. With the cans gone, that front and maybe a belly pan that thing will look like a charging bull!

Sorry about the rushed effort:

That pipe looks really tiny Jim

[Jockney Rebel]

they are very small but there is 2 of em.. and as we all know size dosent matter lol they sound nice too and ive sorted the braket sos its behind the pipe instead of being a strap the plate mounts going next and im puttin a tidy in its place
then some bar end mirrors and sort the headlamp thingy and maybe a belly pan:D

[Jockney Rebel]

[Blackkat]

nice pipes monkey boy!!!

[Jockney Rebel]

u win a cookie lol:D
only ones i could find with a 35mm inlet

[Groomey]

Mate also get rid of that rear fender assembly. put a nice out of sight numberplate holder.

[Jockney Rebel]

hers a rad grill and an oil cooler guard i knocked up at the weekend

[Gix11]

Seems good mate, but need to see the side profile. Don't ask much do we?

[Jockney Rebel]

kin ell oo dya think i am david bloody bailey:} of course guvnor no sweat

[Gix11]

I quite like the gold mark (reflection) the overhead lights are making on your fairing as well mate. Ties in with the gold forks nicely and breaks up the big black area to make it appear smaller.

[Jockney Rebel]

thats not a bad idea .im still undecided about the exhaust ive got the RS3 shorty from the honda i was thinking i might get a connecting pipe and chuck it on to see what the bike looks like
the 2 tiny cans work well enough and are loud without being nickable and i always wanted a bike with twin pipes but now ive seen it im not sure
i bought an R1 hugger the other day and its big enough to make a small belly pan out of ..also some nice little led indicators dropped on my mat from italy so there going on and a tail tidy is formulating on my bench. i made a mount for the instruments from 3mm ally plate and thats it so far
i need to get it all together so i can ride the thing to sydney in november

[latheboy]

You got little <s>cans</s>boobs ... hehe ... I would like to see a full broad side shot , i reckon it'll look heaps and plenty good when you get rid of that massive tail ..

they walked in to the cafe in the servo and ..[i must add i was THE only person in there] " is that ur bike son " to which i replied
"no mate i always walk around at this time in the morning in full leathers carrying a crash helmet" .and with that i found myself being read my rights and labelled a smartarse.... which we all know no one likes .....apparently :D

[zx12argh]
