Here's part one of the build:
:popcorn::popcorn: Waiting for the next part!
Part 2 of the build:
Pure class man good work! The seat and tank work great together, as does the curve on those bars. Is the frame up for it?
Awesome. I am too jealous of your skills :rolleyes1:
That's the spirit, restore a bike yourself.
Just in case you all thought this thread was dead :) The bike is pretty much perfect now, I took it on a trip up to Huizhou last week and it performed perfectly! Top speed according to the GPS was 117.6 km/h which is pretty good! It felt solid at max speed and with some changes to the gearing I think I'll get her over 120 no problem.
I'm still not sure how far I can get on a tank of petrol, but so far I've ridden over 200kms on a single tank without hitting the reserve (so far 206, as soon as it hits reserve I'll let you all know).
I'm uploading a video of Beer-girl starting it as we speak, I'll start a new thread entirely about the new bike once the video is up.
I'll also upload the part 3 and 4 of the build to youku, they're already on YouTube and have been for weeks :P
Here's a picture of what she's looking like now:

Where is the seat from is it a DCC universal fit? Looks cool, all looks very cafe racer. The local fashion scooter and motard Jialing JH125 crews will be crestfallen when they realize it's just a regular Chinese bike and a Laowei with a sense of style and a bit money! :thumbsup:
Looking forward to part 3 and 4 of the build!:popcorn:
The start video is up along with some new pictures of the bike here: http://www.mychinamoto.com/forums/sh...Churchill-quot
Awesome bike. Awesome build.
