Non dub projects?  :grin:

I love bikes I want to build a old triumph bobber but maybe when I'm bit older and can't race no more.

Yeah gold and red. Maybe with black bolts and center cap. Won't see the barrels but you will see a red lip when driving behind me

Triumph bobber, nice! Yh same here, prefer bobbers, cafe racers, flat trackers etc to sports bikes! Think if I hada sports bike I'd kill myself so gunna stay away from them lol.

Here's my inspiration

Sounds like a good plan with the wheels! Think you should do it!!

Glad this thing's still about, love it! Just shows how a set of wheels can really set it off ;) 400 horse charged VR would just finish it off!
