Posted: 03:18 - 26 Sep 2016 Post subject: Operation: Hipster rebate |
|
|
So I left my job to become a student in Australia ages ago.
I live near Newtown, Sydney... It's infected by hipster disease. Thankfully they're rich.
Student life makes me poor, so I'm going to make something for hipsters to froth over so I can exploit their bank accounts in the name of "custom".
Idiots.
Anyway, I picked this up for $800. Probably too much, but it'll do as a base.

And I'm going to abuse it, stick my spare ducati parts on it, and off it goes.
We had to remove bits to make it light enough for the trailer, as it has a 400lb capacity, so if you're around Singleton Sundial, NSW, there's a recycling bin with half a CX500 in it.
Chucked the tank, seat, headlights, tail section, and it came home.
Thankfully it's a monoshock... I didn't know this one was a monoshock... being a monoshock saves me a lot of welding and grinding.
Step 1 is chop off the subframe and shove a ducati 1198S subframe I had, so it'll kinda look like this?

And for a bit of extra "make it look like bike", spare monster tank.

I hate it. It shouldn't exist. I might burn it.
I'm also not going to use that fuel tank, and bolt two 4.5kg fire extinguishers on instead.
Sachs madass headlight.
Then sell it to an idiot.
Watch this space if you hate bikes or hipsters ____________________ Blue_SV650S wrote: it was a sh1te wheelie, but it proves that he can get it up in 3rd and can do angles.

Pro taper fat bars and speedo from my 450 exc parts hoard ____________________ Blue_SV650S wrote: it was a sh1te wheelie, but it proves that he can get it up in 3rd and can do angles.

Just plodding on with painting it. It takes time...
Carbs cleaned, valves adjusted, bla bla mustache twizzled, jeans tightened, reality checked, chain adjusted...
I'm working from front to back... Ignore the overspray on the back.
