hey guys, gonna try and build a decent replica of my old 1/1 bike. My dad had the bike since around 1987, and I have been driving it since i was 16. i did sell it a few years ago and got a new sport bike though! but this was a super fun bike. it had some performace upgrades, a 1050 big bore kit, clutch, ignition, oil cooler, exhaust, custom swing arm fork brace, etc. I will do some sort of custom base to make a tribute for my dad who passed away back in '98 heres a pic from way back in 88 or around that time. me on the back.  and this is more recent.     scratch built an exhaust header.   |
