Nice job? Hell, the attention to detail is outstanding. Could this be the future of Exups? 170mph cafe racers. I'd have one.

That is a clean looking bike - great lines

I wouldn't expect anything else from Dave

Dave's the Van Gogh of metal working.

Thanks chaps, I'm pleased with how it's turned out and can't wait for a dry day now, I know it's not everybody's cup of tea but it's better to have something to use and have non fzr owners wondering what it is than to have it sat at the back of the garage looking a sorry state as it was a right pig when I bought it.
Right then on to the next project

Very nice Dave, I love the colour

Now don't do a Banner

What did he do ?

Banner did something similar to you and it looked beautiful when he finished it. He went out for a ride and binned. It wasn't looking as nice as it did. Luckily Jon was still here to tell the tale. I've been looking for the thread. I did find it but the last few pages have disappeared for some reason. Bit odd!

Here's the thread but the last pages are missing, where Jon explains what happened with the accident.

Yes I remember this build now

shame he came off after all that work, it's bad enough just coming off but when time and effort has gone into them it's even worse.

I'm curious to know where you've hidden the battery, cos I can't find the bugger.

Gel type in seat hump? Or using pods n battery under tank?

Post by **nugget** » Thu Jan 19, 2017 10:36 am

Could be.

Ha ha the battery sits in between the frame where the petrol pump used to sit, the pump now sits at the back of the engine along with be exup motor, it's all a tight fit under there but I think the rear end looks a lot tidier without the battery box now.
