VTR Bobber

Post by Kev L »

What do you reckon to this one? Another example of a hell of a lot of work whilst reducing the market appeal of the finished item. Admire the work involved but not keen on the end result myself.

that appeals to my sense of humour at the moment, do you not think if you gave it a handful you'd fly right off the back though, nothing to stop you behind your butt.
must be watching to mush Sons of Anarchy in the past few weeks. DOH.
can appreciate the work put into it, same with all choppers etc, might not be totally my cup of tea but i'm an mechy fitter at heart and appreciate the work.

It's refreshing to see something other than a 'tater engine that's for sure. It needs finishing - those exhausts are wrong and the bars just look bodged together. Never been a chopped fan myself, I do fancy building some sort of special one day - I had plans to put a Suzi GT triple into a pocket rocket (FZR 400) frame, and I fancy making a Café Racer - from an XS750 donor. I just need 3 things...

A garage
Money
Mechanical ability....

once my kwak is transformed into a track monster shortly, my next project is making a cafe racer from my cbx750 which is just gathering dust atm but is a beltin runner.
im ok at the mechanical stuff but i really havent got an eye for design and style lol so will be more or less copying the norton lookalike seen here somewhere as i like it a lot :biggrin
