How about repainting it a similar red, maybe a little bit deeper. Then two simple cream racing stripes running down the middle would look so much better than what's there now. Not sure about the side panels, can't get a good look from your pics, would they be big enough to paint a number on? A side shot of the bike would help.

Rather than building a bracket to hang the plate from that lovely arse, how about building one that extends out from the swingarm to hold the plate hovering behind the wheel at the back of the bike? That way the lovely line of the seat would be unbroken.


So what's the craic anyway, are these bikes actually career moves?　Ｙｏｕ　ｇｏｎｎａ　ｂｅｃｏｍｅ　ａ　ｆｕｌｌ　ｔｉｍｅ　ｂｕｉｌｄｅｒ　ｓｏｍｅｔｉ ｍｅ　ｓｏｏｎ　ｉｆ　ｔｈｅｓｅ　ｂｕｉｌｄｓ　ｇｏ　ｗｅｌｌ?
You and I think alike! I was originally going to do some sort of a deep scarlet or some such colour... some sort of nice looking red :) I think I'll pursue that idea.

For the rear license place, I initially made a crude bracket that held the smaller front plate sideways over one of the rear shocks... but it looked crap... I love the idea of a hovering plate! I'm going to run with that and see what I can come up with (it would also act as a sort of mud guard too :) ) I'll call it the "felix plate mod" from now on ;)

As for where this is going? Basically I'm hoping that it'll be a hobby that pays for itself, if I can modify or make bikes for friends and keep learning and getting better, I'll be happy :)

I can't wait to get stuck back into these bikes, more updates as they happen.

P.S here's a side pic:
