Dave from Bellingham,Washington, spend the last 9 months in labour.. chopping his stocker CT90 that he received as a non-running gift from a friend. He was inspired during the build-up by the Cubs from the Cone custom shop as well as the ECC (Extend Cub Club), both from Japan.
The frame was stretched, raked and modified to fit a frame brace; after that Dave smoothed all the welds. The rolling frame was powdercoated with grey metalflake powder which looks great!
Dave machined the footpegs from brass, the same material was used for the centerpart of the frame brace. Kinda like a bi-tone watch, a mix of polished aluminum and brass.The '60s style sissybar was handcrafted from stainless steel..
Wheels are custom 72 spoked items with modified hubs. The soloseat was upholstered locally.
Power comes from a Pitster Pro 140cc engine..
Before...
After..

ReplyDeleteIts a Pitster pro big bore pipe with out the muffler....I had to heat and bend it A LOT to get it to fit like it is. Engine runs great!
