I thought some people might be interested in a current build project.

I wanted to build something different, something that involved a little cutting and welding. Here are some early assembly pics, but a general idea of the direction I'm going with it.

I like it.

Id ride the crap outa that! Looks low and mean

 

[ultraxr]

Definitely loving the how she's sitting. Looking forward to the finished product.

Saw the pictures on Facebook, at first glance it thought the lower picture was from a Diavel, then I re-read topic, opened them and looked again

 

[MTD]

I like it, despite the fact that looks kind of quiet.

 

[MotoRefugee]

quite? There's no exhaust yet

Quite meaning gentile. In my opinion you should matt black the forks.
What is the exhaust plan for the project?

 

[MotoRefugee]

The forks will be black/ti-nitrate SBK forks, I'm not sure about the exhaust, I'm still playing around with idea's.

The final paint should be matte/black or matte green.

I like where this is going... Interested to see how you will tie it all together.

 

[Nikgrg]

Mate how tedious is it to take the forks out and paint them?

 

[carmd1281]

Nice project... look forward to seeing where you take it.

 

[chill]

Looking good!

I'm not much into that type of look, so I'm surprised how much I like it.

I think a shotgun-style a'la scrambler type of exhaust would look good on this.

The forks will be black/ti-nitrate SBK forks, I'm not sure about the exhaust, I'm still playing around with idea's.

The final paint should be matte/black or matte green.

I think an ''under engine'' exhaust will be the key, kind of balance the look of the bike by filling that empty spot between wheel and engine. Visually it will move the fuel tank forward, giving a more rough look to the bike.

Very cool!

 

[hunde]

Liking it!

Been helping a friend build a Triumph Bobber. It's coming out pretty sick and nasty:

Keep it rolling along, can't wait to see more!

I like it a lot! I wish I had the balls to do this to my 796!

The 796 would be easy, you can always buy a spare subframe and start cutting.

Yup, the mechanics are simple. The problem would be making it look clean and professional, not some hack job.
