The effort you guys go to making these oldies shine amazes me...I would not have the patience to do such a job.

Keep up the good work mate.

cheers Laidback, by the time i'm finished with this one I reckon I could have bought a newie for the same price & then just for shits & giggles the caf'e 650 will start...unless i'm broke

here are some side badges I got made up 1 set with a resin top & the other are clear coated the resin ones are going on Booga & the clearcoat will go on the caf'e later they are aluminium plates in which the "Z650" is milled raw aluminium with the black paint background....just a little different

absolutely none H.B or from the $2,150 that followed that $50

updates?

yep here's one.....I'm flat out at work, making sure all my clients work gets done when it's required & they repay me how??? no bastard will pay their bills on time which = me flat out & no time to wk on the bike + broke......so just hang in there Zedd, the next update may be a bit more positive.... or 4 bikes, 3 cars & my business up for sale

Thats the golden rule of being in business,the customer needs the money more than the poor idiot who has done the work for them should be pay on the spot

G'day guy's been a while " as per my last rant" Now that the business is now back on track after re-educating client about money + sucking up to the bank jeez they play hard, so its back to what I love...



got a bit of time this week to start putting BOOGA together







updates next week
