Survival build

[CB_Phil]

will be slow going as Im rebuilding my crash damaged CB1000 & working on the GFs Fazer too

The plan is a Survival style fighter, but she will evolve over time as any good bike does. So @ the moment I have a
new top yoke to allow me to use any bars I want & have to decide between Renthal 'Road bike' & a set of drag bars, original brake master cylinder & e-Bay levers
a single front lamp & small blacked out screen,
Gators,
for the back end I plan a single seat & cowl that Ill knock up (thanks to Gizmo for sorting me out w/some steel) & a set of GP style pipes by Gizmo
as I said thats just to start &U nodoubt parts & plans will change as I go

[CB_Phil]

As she started

[CB_Phil]

Got a bit done after doin a bit on Helens & before I headed over to the auld lads. Just removed the side fairing so I could sit & get some ideas of how to gos bout some of it. Just checked her back together so shes roads legal for heading over to do the front end, as I left all the parts over in the folks house
Will cover the rads in Moto-x style fairing


Will get pics up of what I get in a bit

[CB_Phil]

Pics of Yoke, bars(1 of them), mirrors, screen(if I decide to use one), Indos (bigger than I thought they would be), braided front brake & clutch lines & brake light








rest is in the folks for Saturday (I hope)

that was just something I found lying round & stuck it on for an idea. If I decide to go w/side panels Ill probably make them & they will be back too

Each to his/her own, and beauty in the eye of the beholder and all, but if your survival depends on this, been nice knowing you.

Kudos for posting it, though.

Well I planned on changing top yoke, bars, clutch/ Brake ines Head light (round 7'', nothing too out there............yet) & just sorting the front out, but other bikes got in the way & couldnt get to her also need to find the headlight bracket, but this is how Ive been riding her round today, good auld cable ties holding everything to gether

Seriously each to there own mate, but why do this to a storm? your not mad max and its no survival bike


The guy next door has what i would consider a real mad max survival bike type thing and its sh1t, made from all sorts of old bust up different bikes, no wonder no its never been stolen

[CB_Phil]

Shes not finished, shell be a long going project & ill let her evolve, I suppose itd be more accurate to say Survival fighter perhaps. Ive never been into fairing & always wanted a storm to play around with for such a build & she wouldnt have been the finest example of a storm when I bought her either which made her the perfect storm to go at.

Good luck with it mate, it's yours so do what you want with it. When are you fitting your first piece of dead animal? Badger skull on the headlights anyone?

[CB_Phil]

No dead animals for me, Im more going for





or the bike that found me this forum



& who knows you may just like the results

[gilson]

Interesting. Keep at it. Although the second bike looks like its just been stood up after being smashed up.
