Bike parts used for different things ?

Hi,
This is probably slightly unusual, but its still about bikes! Can anyone identify any bike parts that have been used to create this.
I am sure the chest is a couple of head light fairings and the back is made up from varios side fairings. Any help in identifying makes and models. Thanks

I'm not convinced it's made from any bike bits. It all looks completely bespoke to me. The chest bares resemblance to a top fairing with an iridium screen, but past that I doubt there are any actual bike parts in there.

Is there any evidence to the contrary?

Hi, I only wish it was my site? The thing is i am really interested in things like this and i am convinced that there are a lot of parts of different bikes on this. I must admit the legs an arms look like they are custom made but even the thighs seem to have vents from a bmw z3 wings ? I think the front is to different headlight fairings cut and joined and the back defiantly has to side fairings in there. Also the shoulder tops look like peices cut from rear mud guards.
This is not trying to sucker anyone in to look at the site, its just helping me out and also its a bit of entertainment like a spot the peices of bike quiz. Thanks
P.S. I have removed link.

I am genuine and i want to know what parts if any people can identify and that IT. I you have read the post you can see that the link has already been removed. I hope you may be able to help with some constuctive answers or maybe you just dont know? But i know you will probably be to busy with your conspiracy theories and alien landings.
Thanks

Guilty as charged.

Although the bit on the chest that looks like a top fairing + iridium screen does have bits in the right place for mirrors.

That's the only bit that looks bikey to me.

To be fair, if you came on to a bike forum just to ask about a robot, the name 'robot' might be fresh in your mind Smile

.

The shoulders are mudguards and I'd agree there are a few other bits there.

The one shown was at Glastonbury, though I didn't see it myself.
There was some other rather more bodged looking constructs made that definitely were made from bike bits:

the robot was developed for an old car Ad campaign I believe. therefore, there definitely shouldn't be any bike parts on it as it was completely custom made.

Titan The Robot...

It was at The Great Yorkshire Bike Show last year. I've got a vid on youtube of it. Quite funny as it tended to chase after random kids.

There's somebody inside the robot suit. It takes around an hour for the guy to get in and out of it allegedly.

That robot was at Plymouth uni a couple weeks back, dancing and stuff with a massive crowd that had completely blocked in my bike. Didnt notice any bike bits on him as I was too busy trying not to to crash into people, cos my clutch is fucked and I couldnt disengage it fully, so I couldnt go less than 5 miles an hour, came quite close to hitting the robot actually. Would of made for an interesting insurance claim.
