      Much appreciated. The customer requested a colour like that, but I HD to work in a little detailing with the black to set it off

    Yeah, that seat and tail make that bike totally unique and gives it the look of a professional build. I am curious to know what the forks came off of originally.

    Beautiful build guys, that’s why I preferred the original M Unit as the wires connected in from the sides and that made it easier the mount that first version, alas, they stopped making the when the second version came out.
    One question, how do you go with getting registration here in NSW with the front end and rear subframe modifications,do you need to have the bike ‘engineered’ for rego? Wayne.

    • @PurposeBuiltMoto
      @PurposeBuiltMoto  9 місяців тому +1

      That’s taken as a case by case basis depending on the mods. If the bike is built right it should have no problem being registered
