Oh yes, the bike is road registered, so im building it as my Sunday toy to rip up the country lanes of Essex, and for some Trackday action, im a S/Moto addict and the 17,s are the only wheels i ever need.. :D

Time to add some pics, all the powdercoating done, engine is fully rebuilt inc a .75 Prox Piston kit, all new clutch plates...Magura Hydraulic clutch conversionImage........Had some problems with the front forks as they turned out to be late type CR 250, so i found a perfect pair of late 500 forks because i had a Braking 4 Pot Caliper to bolt straight on with a Braking 320mm Wavy DiskImage........Radiators had seen better days, but i repaired/stripped and painted them myselfImage..They took a week to doImage.......But im really happy with the finishImage.................Wheels have been sent to a wheel builder to be stripped, the rims Anodised Black with Anodised Red Huds, new Stainless Spokes with Black Nipples....Also bought a pair of Easton 35mm Superfat Bars and Clamp kit....So far so :cool:

Sick man. Even after seeing all these pretty conversions I still want a steely supermoto. You can put a modern suspension on them any way. Plus you've got that big comfy banana seat if you want to ride it for more than a bit. Mine was dual sported but I'm definitely going full street and slammed with an aggressive port after seeing a few of you guys' bikes. Good job.
I'd rather be hauling ass

what kind of bike did the white alum. 3 spoke wheels come off of do you know? do they use the stock axle with no mods? Rotors align with no problems or mods? thanks.
