    Brute force and ignorance mate, thats what makes it such a winner if youre doing it in a small shed on a budget with minimal tools.

    Its pretty sad what you can and cant do with a bike considering the guidelines for hotrod builders are so basic you can practically put an engine in a bedframe and theyll rego it.[V]


    Is it a major pain in the arse to buy a custom bike like this,then getting it re-rego'd on the east coast???
    Did Large have a similar problem with his Spondon??

    I have no idea about the licencing laws interstate mate. Im not sure what problems large encountered when trying to licence a spondon over there, i do know that frankie the original owner went to a hell of a lot of hassle and great cost to get it licenced in WA. Whether that be due to it being an imported frame or engineers report, weld testing or whatever im not sure.
    What i have learnt is that the information on licencing custom motorcycles frames, ICV's (individually constructed vehicles) is vague, difficult to find and thin to non existent. I can only assume this is because the DOT dont like people riding bikes let alone constructing them and riding them.
    From what ive read and downloaded it is easier to engineer something from scratch than it is to modify an existing frame, well at least that appears to be the case here in WA. Everyone i speak to has a different story.
    I would be happy to post the pdf files from dot for everyone to dl but i dont know how? If anyone can help with that i have copies of all the National codes of practise and the ADR.

    Sooo, I got a new welder. It's fucken awesome. Here is a picture of it so that you too can bask in its awesomeness.. While im on the subject of welders. Prior to me buying this awesome welder I was borrowing a mates welder to dial in how to weld aluminium with a single phase ac/dc tig which was also awesome (but not as awesome as mine) and about half the price. He bought it online, its Australian made via china Rossi welder and only cost him less than 900 delivered. I can highly recommend these units for anyone on a budget wanting a machine that can weld anything. so here's a picture..The handpiece isn't great but easily replaced with a quality one. It comes with a foot pedal, stick, tig and plasma cutting torch and is capable at all. I welded 14mm ally plate with it dialled on full tit.

    Some of you may be wondering, what has this stupid cunt been doing for the past few years, well its pretty simple really, i've been fixing everyone else's shit and trying to set myself up to build my 1100 frame. THis bike in particular keeps coming back to me so this time im fixing the fucker once and for all. It has quite a history this bike, once belonging to the illustrious Billy Potts it was originally built with an rgv tail by a company who shall remain nameless despite their foreseeable demise. Its shit, the whole thing was shit. They charged billy a fortune to build this thing that looked so slapped together it was barely roadworthy. The paint it bubbling, the wiring is fucking atrocious, the air filter had never been cleaned/replaced so it ran like shit and the sub frame was so bad I don't even have pictures its just fucking embarrassing so I cut the cunt off. Now thanks to the afore mentioned welders I stuck some mounting tabs on post butchering it with a grinder.. And then I stuck a modified r1 subby with a cbr600 tail on the fucker.

    Did all the ally work on this thing, fuel cell, radiator chop n mods etc, and yes, that's a gixxer 1000 motor in a dirt chucker.. I just love the geometry on these things, it appears to make no sense at all but somehow it does..
