My mate Robbie of britchopper (web site)fame,built himself a chopper,and got me to splash some paint on it! Admittedly,it was a rsh job,more time woud have been nice,but deadlines were a pushing. See it at stormin the castle,next week.

Bare frame was etch primed,rubbed down,then sprayed with 2pac high build primer,and gloss black. I would have liked to have used some 2pac clear coat,but the budget didnt stretch that far.

Hi Pasc,its a harley engine,of some sort? Robbie,the builder has a build thread on the brit chopper forum,in chop section,detailing all his hard work.I just wish he'd build a streetfighter,as it would be stunning.

Hi,the wheel came from Rufforth auto jumble (cost a tenner). God i miss kz bits! lol. Hello back to Sandra. If theres anything i can do to offer an help with your zed project ,feel free to message me,and i'll be happy to muck in. Ive a lathe,milling machine,spraying gear etc......just not very good at operating it. I dont know if Sandra would remember,i bought a gsx1100efe thing from her,this ended up a street legal (ish.. ahem...)drag bike,painted flouro pink,long swingarm,short forks,big bore motor,etc,with sponsership from tickled pink adult sex shop in North Shields,im about to start work on this one again,330 tyre back end,200 section tyred front end,making it look like its on steroids! Perhaps i can keep you posted. Take care, Brett.

I'll have see if i can find any pics of the pink gsx,it was before digital camera's were popular,and im not sure if i even have any,but we'll see? By the way,the bike won best streetfighter at the ncc (national chopper club) show,way back in time,must have been 1999/2000??
Another winner this week was my matey Robbie,whos chopper i painted (not very well!!),who won best engineering at Stormin the castle this week end,so well done Robbie.
