My other bike (not a Storm)

Been asked to post this thread here too, this is my other bike which I've owned for a while, over the last couple of years I've changed it a lot to make it better suited to my needs:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seeing as so many people liked my newest bike (the firestorm/superhawk) maybe you'll like this.

My trusty steed known as 'The Scud', I've owned it for a couple of years and have ridden it many many thousands of miles. It was originally a Honda Bros (nt400) but has had a thousand different mods since I've owned it.

Transalp 650 Lump

Home-made chain oiler.
Home-made headlamp brackets.
Jota handle bars
Home-made risers.
Filled in wheel.
Highway bars.
Ammo-can toolbox.
Twin 7" lights
cat-eye reap lamp.
Revere 19 Litre tank.
Home made front rack.
Home made sissy bar.
Massive Exhaust from a Subaru Imprezza (got it off ebay for a Â£1) shown in 2nd photo.
Extended sidestand by welding a 17mm socket on the end (to cope with fireblade rear shock)
Headlight grill made from a shopping basket.
Home made under-bar mirror.
Random indicators from different bikes, stuck on with tape.
Army pouch saddle bags.
All painted in black Masonary paint from the local DIY store.

During a short 1500 mile tour of Scotland earlier this year.

Ammo-can tool box and external fuel pump:

Loaded up before a trip:

Before the spine and exhaust mods:

Another classic.

In these difficult financial times, It's good to see that someone is single handedly keping the matt black paint industry afloat

Keep up the good work Ratty.

Maybee a Ducati 1098 rat bike next !!!
