The nights are drawing in and it's getting to that time of year when we start to think about winter projects. Maybe rebuilding/modifying an existing bike, buying in a restoration or even building from scratch. So I thought we would have a new "Sticky" to show some inspirational bikes and perhaps give a run down of some of the parts used. Bikes don't have to be your own, maybe something you have taken a picture of or found on another site.

I'll start with these lovely bikes taken from Motoren Israel http://www.motoren-israel.com/

Some of the parts used on these bikes are very popular and appear again and again:

One of the common mods is the Q Tech rear sub frame and seat unit - Q Tech are here http://www.q-tech.de/

Another one using the same subframe

Cafe Racers..mmm! We'll have to see if I get my legs slapped with a ruler. But untill I do then...I like this one :cool:

Late model R100R or Mystic, GS collector box, Twin shock sport seat and 'S' fairing. The under seat exhaust is a nice touch.

Gary,

Can you give us a run down on some of the bits please?

Is that a Q tech rear sub frame and what are the forks off?

I know the swinging arms from an 1100 and there's loads of one offs on it. The tanks an Acerbis and fairings a genuine HPN.
 
Here's one that I really like :bow

I think this is a great thread , so has not to be like other forums I think what we also need is also a list of suppliers of trick parts for Cafe Racers and Off Road specials , not just pictures .
Keep em coming !

Here, here!
Please don't delete it. I'm sure eventually more people will add to this (me included when I get the damn thing finished!). I personally love to look at one offs to see what others have done etc. (a lot more than I like to look at yet another standard bike. Not that there's anything wrong with a standard bike of course, before I get shot down, just a personnal preference!).
 
Is this thread a dead duck guys. Should I delete it?

I think it's a great thread :clap

This is one of my favorite hot air heads and an inspiration for my very own G/S special which is slowly progressing :thumb2
