Hi again everyone. Here is my latest build stil in progress. A 1200c that was in an accident about 4 years ago. The owner decided it was too expensive to repair and felt it might be worth more as a custom bike...So here we go. He showed me a pic of more or less what he wanted  so its re doing...

Hi all....Humble apologies for being away from here for so long. Since I got into the machining side of things I havent been able to do much in the way of bike building. My time always extremely limited with full time work and a steadily growing hobby/business 8)... Good news is that Ive been...

I've been busy on this one for a while...but can never find time to actually work on it...Last week I actually made a little progress. More pics to follow. My semi basket case found in a barn somewhere in Himeville Natal.

Hi guys...Its been a while . Here is a build that I've been busy with for the last 3 months. Done for a client who bought a keffy racer but decided he wanted a different look. I'm not going to go into details but here are a few pics of the progress till complete. Worth mentioning that Freak did...

Hi Guys I've been asked to put up a few pics of my bike. I bought it off a Japanese bloke who brought it over from Japan 3 years ago when he moved here. 38000 kms on the clock paid 26K for it. To be honest I thought I was buying a R100 (T ??)as the pics on scumtree were very vague and one...

Hi guys. I've decided to tear down and sell of the parts. At the moment the bike is complete and running but has a clatter on the right hand side at around 4000rpms. I've rebuilt the motor but it appears that there is an issue and I simply don't have the time , energy or finances to redo...

So here is my latest project. Its a perfect running bike that I picked up from a guy in Springs. This is how I got it.The owner had attempted to get something going on the front but sadly did not look too good . I only plan on doing a few minor cosmetic changes to give it a bit of a cafe look...

Ok so Pleco's fred inspired me to take on my own engine rebuild. I should have taken a bit more note on the stripping of the bike because in hindsight I think I went a bit bos. What promted the tear down. I noticed a knock/clatter at around 3500 - 4000 rpms under load. The bike had a bit of a...

I recently had a 50/50 Heidenhau fitted to my GS1200 front wheel. Even though it was balanced the bike still shook like crazy on the open road. This also coupled with the front being "twisty" for lack of a better word but it feels as though the bike is unstable at speeds higher than 120...

I knew about this old girl rotting away in a freinds yard. so I asked if I could buy it. So last Saturday I went and fetched her. I suppose you guys have seen a zillion tear downs but heres another. Only major mod intended for this bike is a Yamaha R1 front end. I hope to be able to get the...

I thought I would share some pics of this build. Did this one about two years ago. Still running fine and I make a point of riding it once a month. This bike was given to me by a very old and dear freind as it had been sitting in his garage for 10 years and it had been given to him by someone...

Hi guys......Here are some pics of my build. First one is the bike as it was when I got it so you will have a good idea of the contrast to the finished project. All the machining was done by myself (during night shift at work haha) I wanted to do something different so I chopped this old girl...

Hi guys Ian from Cape Town here. I traded my XJR 1300 for a GS 1200 but to be really honest....even though I am very confident and a reasonably able rider on tar, I am scared shitless of taking my bike onto the dirt. Been riding the gs now for almost a year so I have a good feel of the bike...
