Is it difficult to get insurance for a modified bike like that?

I've been asked if my bikes have original screens, exhausts etc.

.

I've declared lots of performance mods and doesn't seem to make much difference at all.
I suppose it's better to tell them in case you ever need to make a claim they can't use it against you.

Nice Rickman Trident fairing.

The sidelights/indicators are from a Renault 4.

Only issue with them is the polo mint water pump seal, which can be got aftermarket now instead of buying the entire pump from Honda.
I think it might actually be the same in the NT series as well.

The top one is a cx500c (c for custom) and the bottom is a standard cx500.
The top one has a smaller back wheel and a teardrop tank as well as some other differences.

Wondering if the momoshock one is a standard one with just the running gear and tank from the custom..the tank doesn't sit flat like that and I think the custom frame is slightly different...I stand to be corrected tho..

It's a possibility alright.
It's a fair mixed bag of parts.

Would have guessed that too. but the slightly smaller back wheel is probably too much of a coincidence

If it was my bike I'd have gone with the fat back wheel too..but with spokes..even if it was just a cx ...

This is mine.....

Yup.

In the late 1990s, I had a Kawasaki GT750 with a Rickman Trident fairing when I was courier in London. (Far right, the one in the middle was my MZ ETZ 150 (with replacement ETZ 125 engine)

I was missing a half a lens on one side, but noted that the manufacturer was Cibie and one opposite pair of corners is square, the other curved like so:

(Not being able to just Google it!) I spent the next couple of weeks whilst riding round eyeballing various French cars, then I had the lightbulb moment when I saw a pristine 17 year old 1982 R4 for sale at a Renault dealer in N22 (It was pricey at £2995). Anyway, I went in to see the parts bloke and he ordered me one in, the complete lens was about £5 and came with two new screws as well.

Don't. Buy from someone else.. Sold a bike to my brother, didn't get paid for it for years, big fall out. Really wasn't worth it, had I known I'd have given him the bloody thing to save the family the grieve.

We're all good now.

Buy another bike.

That wouldn't be an issue Mak

I'd be only buying it as it was my bike originally.
It's a bit of a moot point anyway as he won't sell.
It not as if he even uses it but the problem is he's a hoarder so never sells anything.
Even when he changed his car he wouldn't sell his old one;he'd rather it just rots away in the back garden.

Thanks a lot.

Maybe you could take your brothers dog hostage or something:p

Seem to remember someone on here starting a BMW caff racer a while back...any progress..???

Zascar · 06-02-2019 11:23AM

That was me. Not much unfortunately and I've since moved out of the country! I agreed to sell it to a mate but he's done nothing to it so if anyone fancies a project - it' just needs bars, speedo, battery and then cosmetics, most of the parts are there...

D3V!L · 06-02-2019 11:29AM

Anyone have pictures of their bike ?
