hi,i really like the Kalahari,had been looking at these bikes for a while,couldn,t find anything I liked & eventually rang paul rooney & discussed my options,he had been working on a bike for a fellow,unfortunally he passed away during the build,& took over from there,ihad paul assemble the engine & fit it to the frame,the motors balanced,twin plugged,mild cam,siebenrock 1000cc kit.blocks been cut down,powerdynamo.The frame has been strenghend at the usual spots & footpeg mounts changed,i got a mate with a husky shop & provided a 2014 husky front end,im in the middle of wiring the bike up{auto electrician is my day job}I,ve gone for a speedhut speedo,i,ll post more photos soon thanks darren

Great looking bike DJc.

It'd look good with a mono sub frame. The originals aren't available any more but bamw make a copy

 

[djc]

hi rob,thanks for the idea probably a better option as the g/s seat will fit straight on & I like that look better,at this stage I,ll get it together as is.the frame was complete when it came to me & being a noob to this I didn,t have a clue,but you live & learn thanks darren

 

[Rob Farmer]

these are the subframes from BAMW (if you have a few dollars left over at the end) http://www.bamw.co.uk/parts/subframe-conversion.html

 

[djc]
