That's a contender for bike of the year in my opinion. Very nice!

A beautifully balanced build mate. I REALLY love them Tuffs too.

Strange choice in cranks although they work well and the 1000 on the rear only looks like that as you have it slammed. Plenty of room for adjustment. I prefer to ride slammed myself  :daumenhoch:

First class mate, well done  :Great_Britain:

Cheers you guys appreciate the great comments  :daumenhoch:

I no a fair few ppl have put OPC on these but I wanted to go something differant (only ever used 3PC on my other Firebird as all of my Burners have OPC's on them)

@John....I've retired from Burner building mate but like I say this build has been on the go for the last 2 years and eventually got the bugger finished  :LolLolLolLol:

@Chubby...I got the pan at the Burner Bash in 2011 (the Bash was at the same event as a Steam fair,'steam engines etc...' and they sell all sorts of stuff like that)

@Mark P...A forum member and mate of mine called Jonny B (AKA buttsbikeshop) on Burnerworld did the prep work and chrome work for me

Got to echo what Adams said here.
This is one of my favourites.
I had the pleasure of seeing this in the flesh and couldn't soak it up enough. Awesome work Russ as usual mate.

Cheers Glynn means a lot that mate  :daumenhoch:

Your inspiration is all over this build mate,ever since I saw your original and your frame some 4 years ago and you told me your idea for Blue/chrome I just had to go that direction after you went on a differant design route 8)

Russ that is definitely *the* best Firebird ever.

I have had the pleasure of looking at this bike for 5 hours in my house.  I even got away with wheeling it along my street for 4 metres ( :-[ ) before Russ picked it up and carried it into my house!!!  :idiot2:

The chrome was so good that Mrs Diesel suggested my Aero Reflex might benefit from a rechrome!! ::)

The seatpost works just fine.

A great build by a great bloke.

Simon.

PS. Russ, the vacuum pump is coming!
Live by the Burner.  Die by the Burner.


RetroRich78... "No probs buddy I was coming if it was only you and I. Well done mate great day"
That is the best compliment I could wish to receive.
