Tom, that looks fookin ace, lived in, I have a pair of hi top vans that I would wear exclusively on that bike if it were mine. Good skills :4_17_5:
why not source a primo rod post or similar. Or even a haro half layback?

Love it! :daumenhoch:
There's a couple of Dirt Bike survivors in the museum that really make me wish I could hang onto anything long enough to give it that lived-in look - hey, maybe this time . . . was well on the way after riding through a paint spillage on mine earlier this week but a session with the white spirit and GT85 soon had it looking new again ::)
-
Nice one Tom, that looks great. Ive been meaning thow that together for years. Im glad you left all the stickers on it cos they look really good.

cool bike ;) If it's one of these you're after I've got one you can have, branded powerlite i think, not the best condition though
