It might be nice to carry the brass/gold color to the wheels. What is black now stays black, and the silver portion gets the brass look.

Re: Maz's FZ750 Project
Hi guys, I'm back again from yet another short stint in hospital - this time I hope to be about for several months before the next visit....
I've been busy (whenever possible) and have built several more rigid and soft-tail frames plus another four trikes since I last posted anything on here - unfortunately my own projects have been at a standstill due to pressure of work....BUT I am determined to get the FZ750 finished for the spring as well as the V12 trike and a few other projects....
So grab a chair and sit back, cos the Bitch is back

Re: Maz's FZ750 Project
Just before I went into hospital, I bought an old Yammy XV1000 Virago as a donor bike for a future project, it was part stripped and came with a big box of bits.... after checking the box and rumaging around in the stores, I found enough bits to build a softail punk chopper from it.... I don't like the short headstock and rake on the stock XV so I kicked the front out a few inches and raked it, plus lowered the back a little..... our new painter grabbed the tins and ran off into his shed and my crew (including apprentices) grabbed the rest of it..... when I came back from hospital they had finished it... so here's some pics of my No1 apprentice giving it a test ride.....
So there it is... PunkBob... my new shop run-around bike...
I just love my crew
