August 17, 200422 yr Oh right thanks for that Johnny i might consider that when i get my montesa... hopefully The tank on the new 05 honda looks quite large but i heard that this is because the fuel pump is situated in the tank... true false?
August 17, 200422 yr Quadrajet you seem to be quite good at photography, like the picture of the front end, what camera have you used? If it was a digital camera then what were its specs? Rich Rich, thanks for the compliment! Here are the details from that photo: Camera- Canon EOS 10D Lens- 28mm end of a Sigma 28mm-70mm EX DF Aperture- f/2.8 Shutter speed- 1/2000th Quad
August 18, 200422 yr Very trick Subira!Where do you get all your bits? ie front pipe,rear silencer,tank,front master cylinder etc. The polished front rim looks nice too. What other mods have you done? hmm...just about everywhere. Japan - Tank and Silencer, plus a few other trick bits you can't see. Italy - Front Pipe Germany - Footrest mounts US - Reeds and Brake pedal Ganthorpe - Paintwerx for Tank and Headlamp Front wheel is 32 spoke, couldn't get a DID rim, so had to use the Excel, which is polished. The full list of mods is embarrassingly long, for a rider of my limited ability.
