it stayed the way it was for about 6 months until i found places i could get aftermarket parts for it.
since then one thing lead to another and what you see here is how i always wished it would turn out i just never realy thought it was possible.
i can honestly say that now she's finished,there's nothing more i want for it (the tsr's are going back on once they come back to me)
so lets hear it,what do you guys think of 3 1/2 years of looking for things,speaking to people about making things,brain storming ideas and how i always wanted it to look and how it's finally turned out

Lovely jumper....
nahh - quality bike mate - when we finally get members areas etc we should have a meet the owner and the bike pages.. I am going to repaint my bike, clean it some more and then do a page like this.
It looks ace - preferred the gold wheels to be fair but other than that it is peachy. You sure there is nothing else :-D |

| I was wondering why we have never seen any pics of it, but of course you can't rush perfection. looking good Rhory, what happened to your tsr's or is that another very similar bike. I should really go and piece mine back together, and maybe even give it a polish or at least a wash...... |

Nice bike. Like the way it's nicely modded but not to detract away from what the bike is, and more importantly its heritage.
Certainly one of the examples that stands out from the realms of the forum threads. There's a couple of details I'd change, but that's mostly down to colour variations and personal choice.
Finished? So what's next? |

Lovely bike. Made me think twice about changing my castrol RVF colours now...
Just shows that you can do a tasteful version of these classic bikes rather than throw tieger kits etc at it. |
