Beautiful Bike!!! Please, more detailed pictures! How about some info on the build? What parts did you fab? What stock parts did you use? If that tank is the stock scrambler tank, it really worked out well. I have a '65 narrowcase Monza that I am starting with and I have the stock tank and a Scrambler tank. I was actually leaning toward the aftermarket long race tank but I might reconsider. Once again, you have done a nice job on you bike and I look forward to getting more details.

Hello.
That is one nice Bike ! I'm almost finished my project too, but I was wondering where you got the Rev Counter, it looks dam cool.
Would you be so kind to let me know where to obtain a Rev Counter like yours ?
Cheers
Del

pay no attention to the slug in the chrome...
i'm only able to post one at a time- i'm slow!
the carb is a chinese pwk keihen knock off which have been made to replace the amals for british bikes.it came jetted for a triumph unit 650... and unbelievably is close for this bike!

Wow, that's one nice bike! Don't think I've seen one done up like that. Nice fab work. Where did you get the knee pads for the tank? I have a tank like that, may want do something like that.

domi racer- off a matchless i believe-applied with high tech(good) doubleback tape..
rev counter is a cb 550 that has been taken apart and modified with decals and cable is a ducati cable at the engine and then a honda end added/crimped at the gauge....works ok but is a little off...
have a good one,joe (cold and unmotivated!!) need some warm sun .............ahhhh

I find myself looking covertously at your bike if only I could get mine to start would be good ,what kind of patience do you have to shine those panels ( I have some TRIUMPH tank pads in my shed ),also what tyres are you ussing + sizes .RAPTOR
