Another project (not an XS)

[hotdog]

sorry more interested in the CB9 in the background - one of those was my first big bike in 1995 when I was 20yo...ahhh memories.

That's "my girl" hotdog, rebuilt it a few years back, nicest thing to ride once the clutch was sorted, powerful and smooth.

Looks sweet, got rid of the truck light blinkers I see... ha ha.. forget how many of those bloody indicator mounts I broke swinging a leg over it...mine was an 80 model, yours must be what 79/80..??

 

[rude]

Yep first model FZ 1979, the USA didn't see them until 82' I believe

This is where the XV project is at the moment, almost ready to rock&roll

Is that a Holden SS in the background?

 

[rude]

Yep.......SSV V8 manual 6 speed, imported as a Pontiac over there I believe

Nice xv1000 - they do look good once all the crap is stripped off them

Your F bike looks very sharp, is that custom paint?
More like chasing the bike into cornfields. I survived my "racing era" and don't even limp all that much now.
That bike was the first bike I owned with REAL front brakes.

Yes gggGary custom paint job laid down by a very talented young painter over here, he did the xs as well
Anybody in Oz need a good painter............drop me a line
