Congrats!! a few bikes I have built have come in first and seconds at bike shows. I have to say I love what you have done with your XL I will be going down the same road soon. Currently I am finishing a 84 xr250r.
Bravo pour cet excellent travail. Je serai curieux d'avoir un bilan economique de l'operation, meme approximatif. J'ai bien envie de faire quelque chose d'approchant, un peu different sur l'arriere de la moto, je ne comprend pas pourquoi les tirants arriere de la boucle du cadre ont ete coupes et remontes plus a l'horizontale, ils genaient le pot ? J'aurai mis une selle plate sans carenage mais c'est juste un detail personnel. Elle est superbe et depouillee ce qui l'a rend tres attirante. Bravo.
Hi Congratulations for this realization which is magnificent and original. I am on a similar project and I shall like knowing the dimensions of front wheels and back and the origin of the reservoir. Thank you and still bravo Michel
I Love your Bike Considering pickup up a old XL600R just to follow suit.. Would it be possible for you to E-Mail me I have a Few questions I would like to go over with you I do not see answered on your blog? rb26dett240sx@yahoo.com
Hey Thierry. Awesome bike. I'm in the process of doing something similar. I know it's been a while since you've posted but hopefully you're still out there. How did you go about shortening your forks. I was going to just cut my springs down knowing that I will change my spring rate. Is this what you did? How has your front end reacted?
doesn't anybody knows: after cut and re solder the upper part of the frame, how is the result on leg clearance in between the sit and the pegs?and on the wells do you have to re spoke the 18" rims on the original rim hubs? rique62@gmai.com
Salut, j'aurais beaucoup de questions dans le même genre que mes prédécesseurs à te poser: c'est possible que tu me renseignes sur l'investissement final ainsi que les divers obligations à choisir pour bien commencer et surtout ne pas se tromper!! si tu pouvais me laisser ton email. Le mien: g.besson73@gmail.com. A bientôt

ReplyDeleteGenial ! quelle gueule !
ReplyDeleteJe vais probablement me lancer dans une réalisation de ce style. Juste une question, quelle taille de jante et pneu as tu utilisé à l'AV et l'AR ?
Ma base sera une DT125R.
Merci.
