My snot green racing machine
« on: July 07, 2009, 08:11 PM »
A few of you have seen my old Ripper xl I race on from time to time (some from the front,some from behind but most people recognise the underside as it slid along the track lol) and it was in a very sorry state, drop outs butchered by the previous owner and VERY battle scarred:-



drops



after a trip to here www.giaengineering.co.uk




now I dont know if I am missing my GPZ1100 or secretly wanted a green Street-Beat but I decided on bright Kawasaki green




and built up it looks a little like this (but needs decals to finish)




Thanks to Gav at GIA for the repair and Kirk for paint and Emma for twirling the spanners for me  :LolLolLolLol:



all opinions good and bad welcomed

 :) DINGO :)

p.s this ISNT a show pony but a bike that will get used in anger  :2gunsfiring_v1:

The work on the dropouts looks top notch...  :daumenhoch:

Not sure on the colour, although it probably looks better in the flesh...  :-\

Sorry Dingo, I don't like the colour, it needs to be a darker green with silver decals  :)

I expect it's brighter in the flesh?  I like Kawasaki green.

Not sure about those bars though Mark!

Thats pretty much the colour a guy I knew painted his Race Inc back in the early 80's, had mostly black bits on it and was very different at the time. Nice.
