My bike collection!
295560_10150255280706319_528741318_7961347_5725729_n.jpg Havent been on in months, my bad, dont know if i will be accepted or not but currently have a mint honda ape 100se and have bought a dax copy, yeah i know not a genuine dax but i paid 500 quid for a mint jincheng 125 and all i want is the frame really as its going to be fully tricked up and virtually 90% of the bike will be aftermarket parts so i didnt see the ppoint in buyin a honda frame plus its my first proper build so if i balls itup its a chinese frame thats gonna be damaged and not a honda, any hoo, heres my bikes and some pics of the bits i have bought so far for the dax, enjoy!

So far i bought the wide glide forks, 3.5 litre tank from germany, okd billet shocks from thailand, billet brakes, swingarm and hubs etc from oo racing machined to fit the offset of my 12 inch falcon copy wheels, 3.5 inch on front, 4 inch rear with super low profile tyres (front one is from abroad as i cant get one here!£££££££) 60 profile on front 70 on back, next job is to send swingarm back to oo racing to have the hub machined etc or spacers made for rear wheel, so far its all in storage till i get a shed built in the garden so i can start building it through the winter after i strip the original bike to the frame and paint or powdercoat it!, then later on al get a big engine fitted, maybe a yx 140 or 150 electric start! i cant wait to get started! :D

Tried that and everything else, all rubbish n time consuming then used caustic soda and fine wire wool for the awkward areas, then used brasso, then my mate machine polished it to mirror finish with wheel, mop etc and the green compound! turned out lovely!
