Plastex, of course thanks for reminding me. I used it for mending a fairing mounting on my VFR a while ago. Should still have some somewhere, i will give it a try.

took the old z1000 out for a run to the coast and it did nothing but cough and splutter all the way there,layed some flowers in the gf's favourate spot...she must be watching me because it never missed a beat all the way home,washed it,polished it then put it to bed.....tried to start the sp but battery was flat so give it a kick in disgust,walked out and slammed the door...a mixed day really

Today I fitted the front mudguard


It looks nice I think


Can't ride but it don't stop me trying

Looking good Lloydie. When is the braced rear going on?

all thats left to do is powder coat the frame/swingarm/subframe satin black and your bike will be a stealth storm...........

thank you .

now the front is done i will get cracking on the swing arm .
i just need to fettle it a little to get the best fit before it goes the the welders
im thinking about having it bead blasted then power coated clear .

my last black bike was all black

i think with this one i like to brake the black up a little
i am thinking about silver wheels

i love the all black look, but i understand where your coming from buddy............

Hmmm, yes I think the silver option, to break it up a little, looks best. But that Blade does look nice.

its not a blade its a1988 cbr400/600 tri arm
400 frame and swing arm ,wheels, nc30 forks brakes ,
cbr600fl engine
cbr600rr4 fairings
it took me 2 years to build and then i still wasn't happy with it so i swapped it for a 900 blade

and that couldn't cut it either so i swapped that for my storm and that's staying lol

a honda man through and through, you've got serious modifying history there buddy.........

honda all the way and once you start to modifying bikes you cant stop

Looks good fella, whatever size it is/was.

this is my first modified bike, and in fairness i've had a mechanic do most of the work, but in the future i intend to grab some spanners myself and get stuck in, i hope to be at the next workshop meet.....
