Title: My replica BITD build.
Post by: aditup2004 on January 27, 2007, 06:16 PM

Have just about managed to get everything together.
There is some NOS DX's on their way, hopefully.
Still looking for the JT Racing rub on to go on the brake guard.
Do not like the pads at all, but I guess it is a replica, so, well, mmmmmmmmm????????
This is the bike then;

This is how the replica looks today;

All parts were NOS. Except the frame and forks.
Just might swap the pads, but for which ones;

Thanks to everyone who helped with the parts, especially Mark for the F+F, Dan for the brake guard, and everyone else, sorry, forgot where most of the bits came from.
Still requiring the rub on please gents.

Luvin your work, I'd be tempted to try yellow pads on it.

Perhaps you could pic all colour schemes and we'll vote on it.

Post by: theRuler on January 27, 2007, 08:22 PM

you gotta run the skyway pads ad

rightly or wrongly, thats how it "was"

my bitd build has to have gt wheel discs. count yourself lucky

Post by: LXIX on January 27, 2007, 08:35 PM

but yes i agree with the ruler it is right just the way it is , but just for gt colour ref  put the other pads on and take pics
