vz 800 chop

Well as you can see my bike has had a few mod... Over the winter looking at flame levers and mirrors, re do the saddle and wire wheels, I'm sure I'll find other things to do LOL

Oh yes yes yes, I love it.   
That is one seriously great looking ride. Love so much about that bike, it's hard to know where to start.  

Thanks Dave... looks better in the flesh... defo needs a better front fender though, everytime I look at it... well let just say its not right

And an other view

I knd of like the front guard, looks unfinished but I like it all the same. May look a little better if polished or sprayed black but I don't think it would take much for her to look a real part of the beasty.

What a great job done, some serious time and thinking has gone it to that bike. O man riding that would make you smile with pride  

 Oh Yes!

The fender is mirror polished stainless at present. I must admit I did think about painting it black... Looks like time to get onto photoshop to see what it would look like... Thanks for the comments Guys

Looks very nice indeed Sir, very well done bike.

Looks very nice luv the raked out look  

Hi Graeme,
I'd just seen your bike on the scrolling gallery - it looks very impressive  

Great to see just what can be done with some imagination !   

Very nice, 

Hi Graeme,
I notice you also have an interesting new avatar - is the gentleman Mr Powell ?

Love the bike, love the avatar.

Niiiiiccccce!!!

Yip its Mr Powell...... Dont read to much into it ...after all its only an avatar lol

Certainly a head turner,nice Machine Graeme

great bike love it where the pipes made ? or can u by them like that?

looks good with the extended girders matey. Pity you could'nt get a front wheel to match the back one but seeing as you are wanted spoked one's then it probably wont stop there long eh?
I'm surmising that you'll be using a stock suzuki back wheel with possibly a wider rim so I wonder if you can find a supplier of a spoked front to match the forks also as they obviously are'nt stock?

The pipes were custom made to match the frame and to say they are loud (even with the baffles in) is an understatement... Sweet though..  

The wheels will hopefully match by the end of the winter (not by magic unfortunately)  I'm not a fan of fat rear ends,, classic looks never age 

A stock wheel off a VL or such should do the job then Graeme eh? Then you can get a hub from a chopper suppliers to fit you width of fork etc...

Ye that's an option I didn't think about.... to busy looking at HD wheels.. not to bothered about hub and spindle size I;ve got access lots of machine tools... thanks for the sense check Peter  

I try, well Rosie says I'm very trying but that's a different kettle of fish  

Sweet build.

Very cool. I love the hardtail. Im still debating whether or not to commit to this

Give it a go, you get used to it quickly.. just don't hit to many pot hole and bumps or you'll want to .. if that happens get a springer saddle or a nappy

I run struts on mine so I KNOW a hardtail isn't as bad as that.

 Its just time really. All I own is my sled, I need to get something else to ride first
