cheerz freddy

I do most things fast.

The wheels are standard 15 inch 280 wheels (not CCI replicas).

I just love a large anvil.

I had a set of the 280 brooklands wheels pinched from a unit in about '92 ish (probably 'smackheads') the dumb fÂ¤★ks left the centre caps behind :evil:

Guyz,

Here is my pencilled in game plan, which is subject to change at ANY time!!!

Satin black powder coating of ALL black parts.

MINIMAL of chrome (due to hideous prices) which pisses me off as I love chrome.

This means that the chain guard and 2 mud guards will be powder coated silver.

Paintwork is most likely going to be metallic blue.

Straight bars.

Standard down pipes with Dunstall type slip ons.

Twin disc conversion.

K+N's or similar.

MIGHT change seat layout to a flat one.
Possibly alter the rear light set up.

I thought about an out right CafÃ© Racer theme, but have decided on only going slightly down that road (just now).

Any ideas / views will be welcome and considered.

A set of 5 is just mental money now!!

They are pretty hard to get too.

Oh and I'm going to reverse the fork sliders to mount calipers at front.

I just love wire wheels and front mounted calipers.

They obviously had no idea of their worth.

Leaving the centre caps behind proved that.
