i shouldn't be suprised really that you decided to MAKE your own mufflers, should i?

though, for the size of the bike and espec the tank and the engine i *think* i'd like to see something a bit bigger. maybe... :-k

anyhow, i think I see a front mudgard being fabricated soon

About size things, when the bike is finished everything should "flow"
better together.

I try to made the front mudguard before christmas.

Amazing. Is that a single POD air filter element attached to the quad port airboot?

Yes it is. It?s Green air filter and why? Because I have one left from other project.
Thats why the project name Scraps racer. I try to use as much old parts as I have in
my garage.

Mock up nearly done. Only some small things to do.

Wow for a bike built from spares and scraps, it is fantastic!! Truly awesome work. Can't wait to see it finished. :clap:

 

[DMorris]

VERY nicely done! The proportions are just right. Sure you won't do a tank and seat for me?

That bike is looking fantastic! You do excellent work.
It almost looks like you are getting some help from Mindless in Sweden. :-k

Also love the dual mufflers! It looks "right."

Looks great to me, so far.
The proportions of the tank and seat to each other seems right and again those two pieces seem right towards the size of the bike.

Exactly,
That first pic of the tank I thought it was a bit big.
But once it's all together it looks.. right.


Blower, the whole thing looks great. Just bloody fabulous.

Agreed. Tank looks awesome. Man I'm impressed. Wish I had half the skills you got. I might have missed it but you decided on a paint scheme yet?

Yes it is. It?s Green air filter and why? Because I have one left from other project.

And yeah, I was thinking of something similar for my carbs (single pod attached to the carb boot) when I ran across your post. I really like that look.

Wow! Absolutely fantastic. I love the proportions and the skills.

Between Mindless's GS1150, Blower's 1150 here and this one from the old's kool page, I think the future for my 1150 is sealed!

The paint scheme should follow the oldskool cafe racer style (maybe).

Paint?! No way! Polish it up, and MAYBE add a red, black, or blue accent stripe or a stylized cursive Suzuki on the tank. Something simple.

That body is way to pretty to cover with paint.
