Bitsa Project
« on: May 04, 2018, 07:52:10 AM »
This started life as the ropiest K3 I have ever seen, now the only original parts that are K3 is, the frame, forks and wheel hubs. The rest is what I had laying round, donated by forum members and bought.

I bought the original bike for a handful of shrapnel about 3 years ago but, I still shouldn't of bought it !!!
There was absolutely no point in taking it back to standard. My instructions to Trig for this rebuild were 'black and blingy'. I am soooooo please with what Trig has built for me, she is stunning. The only involvement I had with the build was choosing parts that I thought would look good and I made the seat and covered it.
This one is called Millie.

Thanks to Tim (Rozabikes) for giving me advice on seat foam specs. Thanks also to Piki for the bespoke tank decals, Mr T for the engine, which I swopped a set if Hagon shocks for, Orange peel Neil for the Yoshimura downpipes, Ash for rebuilding the coils and softening me rubbers. Allenchrome for the chroming and zinc plating. Oh, and Trig for overhauling the engine and building the bike.

Hello Millie 8) 8) I have had the pleasure of seeing Millie in the flesh so to speak :o and it looks better than it does in the pictures.
Which one are you going to be taking out this summer Julie or will you be taking it in turns.

Decisions, decisions, what's a girl supposed to do 🙂🙂🙂
As you know Paul, there are lots of bikes here that need to be ridden so they will all have to take it in turns.

I prefer the hair to stay on my head Andy  :o
Don't know what it sounds like yet, will fire her up over the weekend and let you know, or, you may even hear it !!!. It has got a small baffle in so not completely straight through.

Looks like most of the sow's ear went in the bin, but certainly a silk purse now. Two re-new-ed bikes in a few days. Two different styles and will be interesting which gets the most use. Well done.
