The bikes I find more interesting are always built by German people.

I have the same tmx 30-6 carbs,banshee side cover and v force and wiseco pistons,these are good choices.

Do you mind saying more or less how much George asks for a dry clutch,and how was it done regarding primary gears,if it uses a special longer shaft or not,what kind of discs can be used...

Thanks it looks very very nice to me no senseless big tires or flashy bling nice work.

That clutch looks almost too nice...

Hi,

the dry clutch has a longer shaft, new primary gears and a modified sidecover that I modified a little more to fit an TZ-Replica cover over it. The whole clutch is Ducati. it costs a fortune... just ask George!!

Lovely build Peter A!
Can you explain the wire wheels in more detail? what are they off? did you need to do any custom work to get the disk brakes on the front and rear etc?
would love wire wheels for my next project...

Hi,

the fronthub is from a Rd250 aircooled and we have to change the Bearings to fit the bigger axle from the R6. There are also some new distances between hub and fork and a plate between Brakedisk and hub. But now everything fits perfect. The rear hub is from a TDR 250 and ist also custom made to fit the FZ600 Swingarrm (also bigger Axle...). We also made a new bracket for the brembo brake. Size of the Rims (Akront) is 2,50-18 in front and 3,50-18 rear.

Hi all,

my project is almost ready now. Have to sort out the electrics but everything else is in place now.

After the last pics I posted here I worked on the pipes (some welding, colour and trimming the holders in shape) got the new seat and got some fine rizoma parts for the brake.

Have done some pics but have no luck with the weather - so I will do some more in the next weeks... but have a look at my bike:

I had so much help from good friends and people all over the world - without them this bike wouldn t exist in this form!

Bye

Your bike is fantastic. I love it.

The modifications are all nicely done.
The FZ swingarm, wire wheels, single disc, tank, seat, rearsets, engine cases, All look great.
Being able to see through the bike at the front and the middle, make it look very light.

Excellent work.

Hi,

thanks for your attention on my bike...

Yesterday I worked a little more on it. Have to sort out the electrics. Have a Zeel, and have to bring the instruments to work. But i still need some more time to get it ready. But now the german winter begins and I will have surely have some time for it round christmas...

Today the bike will go on a custombike-show - we will see if a RD gets attention between all the Harleys...

Bye
