Thanks very much chaps

I do love a factory spec build myself.

CW Racing has to be one of my old time favourite stables.....clean lines, crackin geometry

Here's my CW collection.....

Are either of your unbuilt Chrome frames an 82 ZL? I have one but never see them in the UK and there's only a handful on the museum.

Could a link be taken out of the chain? It looks a little far back on the rear drop out.

Other than that .................................

I'm a huge CW fan. This is just stunning

spot on,looks like it just jumped out that magazine

FAZE3 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 01, 2013, 05:37 PM »

really nice builds there fella, CW quality you can't go wrong

Always admire someone with the determination (and wallet) to build factory spec

Unfortunately not mate. The f/f on the floor is another ZX Pro, the chrome f/f on the shelf is an NOS ZXL. Haven't seen many of the ZL's around either.......one I'd definitley like to add to the collection!

Yep, could probably do with a link taking out that chain.....

Cheers - Jim

Awesome build , love the CW collection

rollin72 · « **Reply #20 on:** February 01, 2013, 09:54 PM »

that is stunning, im not normally into full NOS bikes I do prefer things that have been restored..but in my old age I can appreciate just trying to find the parts and scoring them is as rewarding as restoring..top build..I like it

NORTY40 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 02, 2013, 12:14 AM »

Love a Blue and Chrome build and that's a beauty

CW collection is

The ZL is a rare f&f, I guess CW didn't make many of them, I'll get some pictures up soon

I have indeed got a ZX pro that was also a virgin when i bolted wheels to it, didn't go down the test spec build route though but did build it in chrome/blue

Very underrated and your little collection looks sweet
