First Generation Ascots > The Thumper Years: Modified To Full Customs
Dutch FT project
WTF304:
Man that looks sweet .... i like how it looks, keep at it.
triguyracer:
You might try looking for a used late model motorcross or dual sport bike that uses a disk on the rear there are many to chose from.Your build looks great
Kornfed:
Curious about the progress.
Did you finish the bike?
FT500R:
After many many moons of inactivity I decided to give the project another go this weekend.
Where the bike was still technically ridable in the past I figured that if I'm going to do it, I might as well do it right and really disassemble it.
Warning the pictures are quite horrific, the bike has been under this cover for over a year.
The bike was surprisingly easy to tear down. Took me about 1,5 hours from the first to the last picture.
Plan is to do the engine first. I'm not going to give it a complete overhaul but just do some basic maintenance (valves, camchain etc), freshen up the paint and all new stainless steel bolts.
After/in parallel I'm trying to source and fit a Honda nx650 or transalp rear spoked wheel.
Eventually the plan is to turn it into a nice little bratstyle bike to blast around the city on.
I'll keep you guys posted on any progress
J6G1Z:
Holy cow Paul! Those are some tough working conditions. Glad to see that you're still at it. Keep up the good work.
