    yep... already started to be dismantled.. I am going to be assisting on weekends.. but its at the chop shop.. I will be selling various bits later on ebay most likely... like rear suspension.. rear mudguard/fender. loads of bits... any special requests I am open to swaps at the minute... as I need other things for this build.....

    it was me.. I was quite shakey the other day with the n95... or I had oil or something.. but it was me.. normally the pics are a heck of alot better...

    anyway the trike is nice... there are alot... and yes its just the start... eeek... will be there with a group from my club on sat helping out in the shop and working on that bike and a few others...

    the shop has opened its doors to our club only on sundays.. but we tend to stick around on the sat instead.. lol

    Re: My bike is at the chop shop.. eeek

    well I am in awwww.. I just ordered a custom seat from a famous bike builder on tv.. yep occ ...

    and I have also ordered a new rear mudguard (fender) from another famous bike builder.. billy lane.

    so the fun bits begin when I have to chop both to suit this project... AAAHHHH I AM MAD! (that means crazy in england) or for my peeps back home... bonkers! lol

    anyway there you go.. ohhh and I forgot I ordered the foot pegs for the forward controls... which are billet... now on with the fabrication of the units... the bike from what I have been told today has had its rear swing arm removed... and a few other things.. they wont tell me more!!!! ARRRGH how annoying is that... I cant wait for sat.. bring it on baby!

    Strange how time is relative. When in school and had a month to turn a paper, seems like day after tomorrow. Hit your thumb with a hammer and 5 min seems like a week :roll: ...

    Jonrms, did you get your trike completed? If so, can you post some pics of your trike? This mod seems very interesting.
