The bike has 41mm forks off a Yamaha DTR125 ( Honestly !! ), fitted with Africa Twin Progressive fork springs and 25mm spacers.
I machined 2mm off the bottom of the steering stem,and then used a stock 800G/S top taper roller bearing,with an 'off the shelf' taper roller from a bearing supplier on the bottom.
The front hub is DTR,laced to an Akront alloy rim with stainless spokes.
The rear subframe is the 800G/S seat loop with the diagonal lower tubes cut off and replaced with longer,thick wall, tubing (actually steam pipe from work,bent on a hydraulic former) and gusseted at the joints....all TIG welded...you don`t need HPN or anyone like that to build a subframe mate,this has had nine years of use with no problems.
By keeping the original seat loop,the seat still fits and locks on.
I made up some tube adaptors and welded them to the rack frame,so an off the shelf Ventura bag loop can be fitted for some luggage capacity.
Pillion pegs are clamp-on custom bike ones.
The silencer is a modded 4" alloy CCM motocross one,changed from right side to left side mounting by removal of the lugs and welding new ones on,and also I made the outlet spout,to stop the exhaust from discolouring the rear mudguard.
The inlet fitted straight onto the BMW collector (actually it`s a Keihin stainless one ).
The rear wheel has a 2.5" rim laced to a stock hub with stainless spokes....I can fit a 130/80 tyre,although some tyres rub the shock.
In the photos,the bike has a standard rear shock,but it normally has a Spax fully adjustable rose jointed unit.
The fairing is a GPZ style twin headlamp unit,with Cibie 60/55 w lamps,so along with the 55 w spots,it has 230 watts of light on main beam !!!
The fairing houses twin Fiamm airhorns too.
The tank is an Acerbis 45 litre polyethelene one.
