Next Step: Have cut the old tubs out and have to make up some new ones.. the plan for the tub is to have a sub enclosure with a perspex lid and fancy insides, ported into the cab then a seperate enclouse with the gas tank hidden. Heres the progress http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b106/terry_350/P1...

thanks guys. Yesterday me and the old man pretty much finished the console. Looks good. The angled section at shoulder height will be a fold down lid with cup holders. and the section below that will have the cd deck in it. Now just have to make the angled pods for the 4 gauges. http://i18.photobuck...

well they got the battery, speedo, lights etc too dont forget. You cant get a dirt bike on the road.. they dont have a chassis number to register. it has to be a trail bike like a WR450 for example. and only thing youd have to change would be tyres if you wanted it motard style

really the only difference with a motard (if you get a proper one) is the gearing is different (obviously because a motox bike has a top speed of bit over 100) the suspension is a lot stiffer, and the brakes are a lot bigger
