Cool as funk Vizman! They make a great bike for blatting round the back roads don't they I see you ditched the big ugly cooler too?

I saw it pop up a few times on Eblag, with a couple of minor changes, then last I knew of it, it'd been painted black, had no fairing and someone had fitted a massive seat

Oh! And excuse the state of the chain!! it'd been stood a while before I took the pics!

Here are some pics of my old 750 sleeper, I believe the motor swap was originally done by an OSS member in Leeds? I got it off Chris (Bikemad) about 12? yrs ago. Now the motor was a fantastic short stroke 750 that went like stink and was fitted in really well (Tank notched to clear carbs and fairings trimmed iirc) The only downside was it handled like a demented tea trolley!! Original 16" skinny wheel, crappy brakes and the shock was knackered to boot! I managed to get a complete rwu slingy front end for a good price from an OSS member who ran a shop in Chorley (sorry can't remember his name, but a really nice guy!) I decided not to go usd as I wanted to keep the subtle 'factory/sleeper' look it had. I mated up a bandit 6 rear in to suit and then simply rode the shit out of it!! Must say, it was one of the nicest specials I'd ridden and never failed to put a smile on my face Anyway, enough drivel, have a gander at some pics . . .

And lastly, winning a trophy at a Chopper Club run. Well chuffed as there is always serious competition!

Finished and on show at Manchester Bike Show
