      As of right now frame is original to the bike, as are the right and left controls, the frame side covers, the engine, the electrical panel, the wiring harness, the rear fender and the tail piece.

        Bent broken frame/swing arm plus a box full of rusty, greasy parts,...


        My latest project Wes Cooly shafty



        The pictures of the bike of Never to old inspired me to try and do a similair replica with the old shaft drive, plus as there were no side covers to make some kind of race number jobbies AK Wes Cooley in the 1979/80 Castrol 6 hour race here in Australia.

                  Well thank you for thinking of me! But I think 'Steve' would fight me over it.

                      67Camaro I love both of your bikes.




                      Mine is still a work in progress but the start point wasn't very good either





                      And you can't even see the thick oil/grease that was covering everything .

                          I hope you guys don't mind a post featuring SOB, (some other brand).

                          I bought a 1984 KZ1100R brand new.


                          Through the years and life experiences the poor bike deteriorated.




                          Feeling sick about the decay, it was time to give the old girl new life!

                              67camaro, both bikes look really cool, but that 650 is such a major transformation. That looks supre cool!
