Hi everyone.
I restore classic bikes and build one off (Twin shock) Supermoto's to which I'm probally better known for.
So i thought I'd drop in and share some pictures of my latest creation (Phase 3)to see what you guys think?
You need to study the pictures real close to appreciate the amount of work what went into making this bike.
Virtually part been modified, most changes were deliberately hidden so to retain the bikes original XT looks.
I make all my own parts and turn them out in roughly 8 - 10 weeks.
The yellow one below started off from a stock XT500 bought of EBay, and 8 weeks in my workshop this is what become of it.
Possibly not everyone's cuppa tea, but i have a passion for twinshocks and prove to be an investment once done.
I build the engines to produce about 50BHP @ rear wheel, so there great fun to ride and msot able to keep up with most modern bikes.
Enjoy the ride.

Whats the price tag on one of those stage 3 bad boys and can it be made street legal? Looks like fun. I want one built from a yz 400.

I can't decide if I like the phase 2 or 3 better. I would say 3, but the crome and black rims is pretty trick on the 2

Phase 3 for sure. The Phase 3 would be even better if it had the Phase 1 paint job.
