Thought you might like an update on Lisa's chop.
There are pics on here somewhere how it all started but these are as it is now.

that looks really good . and it leans me to think I'm building my one the wrong way, every other build Ive seen is built in full techno colour but I'm building to final then taking all to bits and doing the polishing and paint , am i wrong or normal you decide |

I've owned 3 or 4 XS650s. Luvverly bikes. I'd love another one.
On our list of Vehicles We're Supposed To Be Photographing For The Site is a GT40 replica in Gulf colours.
Best get that organised.

I know nuffink me!
Probably 20 years ago now, but they were lovely motors. Nice simple design & good looks, with that old Brit appearance that makes 'em perfect for chops.

Frame came from a mate who'd built it a while ago.
