This bike so needs to stay raw with the welds and all showing at least just for little while mate. It's pure raw magic.

agreed

Yeah - just clear coat it.

X3 or 4 or whatever. Well done brother Surt.

thanks heaps mates, but sorry i cant just clear coat coz
a. the top of the tanks shrunk pretty bad
b. the tank and butt stop materials differ. probably i should have fabbed the tank from ally either but im trying to save on time as much as i can, same old story...

paper back mock up. the stop signals gunna be levelled with the butt stop surface

any opinions? is it fugly enough?

btw, is powder coating air cooled engine a good idea?

Its effectively plastic coating , just melts at a high temp. So it would be slightly insulative , prob not.

thanks cheif, that's what i suspected

Surt your skills make me sick . Top stuff keep it up

thanks hyo just doing the work lil by lil

I always check out Surts updates first. You never know what it is going to be. Great stuff

thanks heaps mates bloody pleased to hear, but i have to confess that i myself don't know what i'm gunna do next. e.g. i was about to start a new frame for my gpz engine but my underground workshop was destroyed and i was given just a small room where i can't work. barely had time to remove my equipment and bike parts, still have had no chance to take it outside the fence. kinda lol.

shit about work shop :-(
still loving the shit u doing

What happened to the workshop mate?

nothing special, just was told to pick up my stuff and fuck out, they had no idea how much stuff i had there lol they just wanted my room after reconstruction. on the other hand, could you imagine some bloke building motorcycles at NASA facility? his collegues would infoirm on him soon as. while many people knew about my activities, including many workers, some chiefs, securities, they helped me a lot some for money others just for idea. that speaks much for the ruskies, a true mateship. now i just gotta settle it up with securities to get my stuff off my top secret work. i'll have to finish my projects in my shed.

Fair enough. As long as you can still work on it, then all is good.

ja, alles in ordnung Si not mentioning our fallen currency and aftermath due to the "su[n]cktions", can't do anything about that, obama seems to love sucking

kz head sandblasted, saved me from the weeks of picking it with a screw driver haha
