Picked it up as an unfinished project. With the basic frame round the GSXR engine. ZXR running gear. North Somerset member did the majority of the work on it for me. Fitting an intruder tank and making a tail piece out of the original mustang tank. Original paint was done by local friend, Lee. Unfortunately the frame started cracking round the swing arm pivots, so after the frame was braced, by Maf, it had been repainted by Tony (Glos).

2013 Buell Chop

Wheels and brakes are stock Buell items. Bars are not quite apes with risers that are left overs from a previous build. Moto-X throttle with foot controls and seat from Ben at Las Pistolas. Fuel tank is a modified King Sportster and oil tank is by Maf. The front mudguard is stock and rear chopped and shortened. The headlight and tail light are from FleaBay. Paint and graphics are by Tony NCC Gloucestershire.
Powder coating by Nick the Chef at www.realitymotorworks.co.uk
We used a Buell as at the time they were going for about half the price of Sportsters and had so much more that could be used in the build. The original plan was to build a simple hardtail frame but one thing led to another and we got a bit carried away. It’s been on the road for five years now I reckon and I still love riding it as much as I did the first time I took it out.
