Camille's big rebuild

[Flipfly]

Ahhh man, it's got a black frame in that photo

I think ya could have painted it green and purple and it'd still be hard to prove it's not accurate. Looks like the early days were very much a hotch potch of whatever they wanted to fit, in whatever colour they had knocking around the workshop

Ah but that is Sheck on the 83 bike, No 99

 

[sycomoto]

Nearly right pops

It's his 84 bike, totally different to camille in that is started life as a g/s mono.
I used the pic cos the Fairing is exactly the same and the shadow lines helped define the shape of the one were making.

yarhoooooo they've arrived

super sexy works shocks exactly to spec of the originals just awaiting the top springs from ohlins now
not cheap but perfect but hey what else should i have spent £750 on

 

[sycomoto]

headlight fairings done

well done eddie my boy, don't recon we could have got much closer to the original.
now its time for the aux tank and rear mudguard

don't know why but i can't seem to flip them upright, i'm no good with puta's

 

[FERRET]

Looking really good Si, sorry to go slightly off topic but would your man be able to do auxillary tanks for an X challenge?

 

[sycomoto]

yeh it should be possible

Is that the mould that you're going to use to make the finished article or is that the one you're going to finish and paint?

 

[sycomoto]

Nope it's a one off

Thanks nick my family were getting sickof me lying on the bench looking at the laptop.

Damn you're making a good job ofthatbike syco

Nose looks good Si, but I think it needs to sit back a little closer to the forks imho.

 

[sycomoto]

Thanks chap

If all goes to plan we should have her down at the airhead weekend so she can be fettled by some proper airhead experts. Can't wait to hear her run:
Next project may have to be something with some real reference photo's as camille's build has been 50% visual refs and 50% guesswork.
I'm happy with the results though

 

[sycomoto]

That's an easy fix

Just need to chop the headlight bracket back about an inch but it can wait.

nice side view here

 

[sycomoto]

Nice job.

Eddie has just sent me some pics of the underseat tank he's just mocked up and wow very nice it is to. I'll get some pics on later but it's looking the dogs. He's now just forming the rear mudguard so that should be ready by the end of the day. The boys bloody good.

I think the clue is in the " underseat tank".

 

[sycomoto]
