Always loved Miami Vice as a kid & here's a custom build that is as camp as Crockett & Tubb's wardrobe (but i had to do it) & I think it's very representative of the time!!!

Been waiting on decals for a while but for different reasons they are not here so I'm not 100% positive I'm going to bother with them now as i think I will be breaking this bike soon as i'm just running out of space & have 4 other builds lined up.

Beautifully powdered frame forks bars chainring & Mallet courtesy of our own SBD ! Brakes connected the wrong way round & bars too far forward

that's cool - real pity about the decals they would've finished it off nicely indeed.

Man that's fresh

Looks like it should be towing a bikini-clad honey on roller-boots

Ive not cancelled them yet but Im just thinking that if i break the bike it might be better to leave the bike clean so that someone else can pug their own decals on it as i'm awaiting some in a custom pink / purple colour way.

I wouldn't know anything about the size of his Schlong

but YUP I guess youre right

Personally i was thinking it was more like a poor mans version of his White Testarossa

I'll be interested in the crank, tyres and fork standers when you split please

The brakes are the right way round.

That bike is amazing - great job. And I agree, it needs a Roller girl skating along behind it

Exactly what i had in mind when i did this build, a cross between (the car) & their wardrobe I just kinda thought the fins in the seat looked like those on the engine bay & the GT chainring represented (to me at least) the air ducts on the side of the Testarossa & the wide bars with the white grips reminded me a little of the Ferrari's white wing mirrors

cube · « **Reply #22 on:** May 17, 2013, 01:17 PM »

heheh lost mine in a chase ..no i am looking for others on the bay,
indeed 512TR mirrors has two fixation bars you can compare like GT wings tough.. :angel
