ive been toying with the idea of doing this for a while but thought the engine was to dull to work around, well i dont know if its because its grown on me or what but ive decided to go with it. here is the bike as it stands

first question, i need to by a headlamp and ears, ive experienced the lottery buys on ebay and a while back bought a pattern part rear light for the above bike, it was so poor in quality i threw it in the bin rather than ruin some other poor unsuspecting bikers day. is there a good source of cafe/bobber/trackers spares.

im toying with tank choice, ive seen one with a hodna 250g5 tank fitted and it looked good. the tank choice is limited because the mt is an oil in frame bike and needs a wide frame gap underneath.

normal site rules apply, piss taking, ripping bike apart, joke links accepted, we can laugh, fall out, throw toys, leave the site, come back again etc, but this is a serious thread so will be staying around, if its spaced out with the usual b;ll;cks it will just make it longer but ever so slightly more fun
PS, im even toying with a z1 paint job

you could talk to these guys, they have made some nice looking bikes.
Good luck which way you go, or whatever you do.
Keep us updated, will be an interesting thread.

thanks Jay, i think the tracker thing is mainly what i have in mind but im not totally sure at this point how to differentiate. but definitely agree , the tracker looks more the thing.
thanks Adrian, i will give the web site a look over this evening.
