Complete survivor build ( Kuwahara Nova)

(1/6) > >>

southern andy:
All finished within reason then. Not going to win any prizes but i thought you'd all like to see this baby.




Remember it's a survivor apart from the pads and the NOS pedals, everything else is either original to the bike or second hand used stuff i've picked up. Stickers and chrome also original. Even then the pads and pedals are second hand in all honesty.   :LolLolLolLol:

A massive massive thanks have to go to Ian ( bodamus) for all his input on this and i hope i haven't let him down with this build. Tried to keep it as original as possible, tyres were always going to be a problem and the original seats on them i just do not like hence the flyte tech.  :4_17_5:

It's Kuwahara made aswell rather than a Tange one.
