plastic chopping board [read about using this on one of the adventure bike forums] as its very tough and cheap

I've read this too - amazing some of the things people make out of them. Tough, cheap, workable material readily available from your local pound shop.

a bit more progress on the dakar/supermoto/adventure bike thingy.
made a 18 inch front wheel out of ccm back and front wheels ,trying colours on fairing,got pannier boxes to fit [had to space top bracket to clear fairing].

Wow that's amazing - I really like it! What's the fairing from? Looks KTM-ish to me. I really like the Dakar look...

How have you done the dash? Is the original behind it or have you made one?

[deadgrass]

thanks colin, the dash is a chopping board it has a ccm speedo but i will change this to a digital one i think ,the cable doesn't reach and it won't be calibrated now with wheel diameter also want to add sat nav and 12v charger.

looks good.

Interesting and I would like to see it in it's final state, but I'm with appyarry on this one, each to his own.

Hope it does what you hope it will do.

[deadgrass]

yes derrick, the looks are a bit love/ hate but it is function over form and does work well, very little buffeting at 3/4 throttle in top gear 17 tooth sprocket [whatever that equates to] no speedo yet ,of course not tested on the highway.

[deadgrass]

having come back from the stafford meet with renewed enthusiasm, i set about my 604 with the spanners.
just got my frame back from the sand blasters with a fresh coat of primer.



i knew that verandah would come in handy lol ,i intend to fit a twin silencer as on my off roader which is why ive not painted the back bit yet,[hope its not too loud with the bigger motor], dave.
