Dutchz Z1 road burner - new stuff

looks all right and it gets the bike closer to being on the road worry about doing the fairing later when you get more time.

it looks ok for now. it will make a good bug deflector too.lol

That works. Whatever it takes to get it on the road.

I think everyone should have a front white board. That way you could write messages backwards for motorists to read. You know, things like "MOVE!" :laugh:

Or, Get of you f***ing phone and drive! Hehe you guys crack me up. Yeah it's a bug deflector alright, it will probably deflect them right into my face. I remember reading somewhere they were messing around with the angle of the plate at different tracks if you get it right it may actually help some. I think I can make this look pretty good. This was the original plan before I started messing around with the fairing. I'm rolling with it for now...

i like it, and have tried(unsuccesfully) to talk a buddy of mine into doing the same thing on his 75 z1.
but maybe a oval number plate might look a little less square :huh: ,maybe .either way,i'd roll it!

If I'm gonna do it I might as well do it loud and proud! Oval number plates are cool for little ducati scramblers laugh: I actually held up some other styles to it and did not like any of them.

I've seen some number plate bikes that I really dig, supercharged's Pridmore rep, the Moriwaki monster of course, a bunch of seventies superbikes...
And then this one comes to mind, probably one of my favorite bikes ever:



Anyone else have cool pics of bikes with number plates?

haha,ok i'll give ya that one.the black bike has been in my dreams for sometime.i have two other pics of it(three now )
this one is really nice(and it has the square plate)


leon

I know what you mean that has been on my desk top for a while...
That's the Sanctuary bike right? That is one purdy - and high $$$ - machine. Here's a nice MkII. Not as flashy but nice.

the bike i posted is the auto magic bike.

i am not sure who built the alu.framed black one.i would like to commend them on there good taste tho .

leon

Ah you're right. The black one was built by a british company called Racefit, based on a Spondon frame. It was featured in PB mag, this image was on their site as a desktop download I think.

I worked on the number plate some more tonight, glassed in a tube so the light can sit in a nice recess (instead of just a hole in the plate), will post some pics tomorrow.

:laugh: i knew you wouldn't be able to just cut a hole in it.so now that you are frenching the headlight what color are you going to paint it?
