- Опубліковано 21 вер 2024
- ...yeahhhh, the Bare Bone Rides Brothers (a.k.a., The Lang Brothers) have recently unveiled another customer build (April 2013). It started off as a "project" bike that our customer picked-up recently ... needed a crap-load of work however, based on what our customer was hoping for and some old-school BBR elbow grease.vision, the Mad-Max reminiscent KZ1000P "TOEKUTTER" bike was born! Yes, this bike was at one time a KZ1000P Police Bike, similar to the California Highway Patrol (CHiPs) Kawasaki KZ1000P that we recently transformed for a friend in California. Check out more photos and fun at www.barebonerides.com or on our facebook page at barebonerides. Thank you for looking folks, as always, we definitely appreciate your time, your feedback and your interest in our work!
"They say people don't believe in heroes anymore. Well, damn them! You and me, Max, we're gonna give 'em back their heroes!" ... thanks for checking out this build man!
Ha! You are the man! Your machine is truly a masterpiece!
Best bike movie ever
@@rt2255 Absolutey Agree!!!
I had to come back to listen once again to that gorgeous sounding engine. Would love to hear it howl out on some lonely highway. Beautiful beautiful motorcycle. I do believe the Goose is smiling.
Thank you for the feedback, Sam ... much appreciated! We do believe the Goose would agree with you!!!
Goose and Toecutter both rode '77 KZ1000 with a Mk II engine. This here's a KZ1000-P, which has the J model engine... it's a completely different and far more powerful beast. The J model engine was taken off the market in 1983, but it continued to be made and sold for police use up until 2005. I have one... and it irritates me to no end that people look up the stats for the older KZ1000 and tell me my bike can't do what it absolutely does on a daily basis.
@@BerryTheBnnuy "Can yo se mee man"!
Thanks for checking out this build! Yeah, it is tough to beat the sound of these old school Kawi's with a good 4 into1 pipe! Just iconic in every way!
Hey man I like the stance of the bike what swing arm is that and where did you get I have a 82 KZ 750 and I like to give it that same stretch look if you could help me out
@@dustinetheridge1283 Hey Dustin, it is not likely that you will find any companies still making an extended swingers for your bike - your best best would either have a shop custom fabricate one for your bike or have them extend your existing swingers or find one already extended like this one I just found on Ebay:
We'll see you on the road, Skag! Well see you like we saw the Night Rider!
Toe cutter got my 75 z1 finished a year ago 800 miles on it now , and it keeps getting faster , them smoothbore carbs from "redline " really set it off with the 1075 wisco kit , I still have you saved and come back here from time to time
Right on JJ ... sounds like you have a nice machine, a classic AND a keeper! Thank you for commenting and taking the time to check out this build! BBR
man these kawasaki's sound so much better than any other bikes IMO
just watched again ... still perfect
+796andy2 Thank you man - much appreciated!!!
Damn love that old sound and then more bikes I miss mine doing some good old days thanks for the memory buddy beautiful bike
Hey Todd, good to know this bike and her sound still appeals to some old school bikers out there! Thank you for checking her out and for taking the time to leave a great comment! Much appreciated!
Thanks for the props man - much appreciated! We agree, from a street performance perspective definitely not the ideal set-up; however, our customer wanted us to maintain the direction the previous owner had started with this project.. She likely will not see the (1/4 mi.) track but, if she does, she'll be ready!
Wish I had something like this. Just like my music, I love old school... Awesome bike, loving it...
Yes, the KZ900's &1000's wee just iconic bikes - just plain cool no matter what their condition or appearance!!!
After watching mad Max I've always wanted one they sound th best, sounds like a cammed v8.
Older bikes sounded so.much better than new ones.
We definitely have to agree with you! Thanks for checking her out and for taking the time to leave a comment!
Thanks for checking out this build and for your feedback! Yes, we have done another KZ1000P - in a cafe racer style - you can see her on our UA-cam Channel or on our website! These are definitely cool platform bikes for custom builds!!!
Beautiful bike and sound
Thank you for checking her out and leaving some positive feedback!
Clean, simple, badass, lowkey, and not a Harley!
Hey Kyle, thank you for checking her out and leaving your positive feedback - much appreciated! Have a great New Year!
Hey no problem! :)
Beautiful KZ and sounds GORGEOUS! Had a 78 KZ1000 not as nice as this one of course but it was a great motorcycle.
You've seen it, you've heard it.....and you're still askin' questions?
That is one mean looking ride !
Thank you for having a look at this build, Edwin ... we like your taste in bikes!!!
What a Sound !!! Yes...
Yes Sir, we agree! It is pretty tough to beat the sound of one of these KZ's breathing through a 4-into-1 pipe without the baffle! Thanks for looking and commenting!
Do you see me man....the Toecutter....he knows who I am....I am the Nightrider baby...I'm a fuel injected suicide machine. In the 80's we were all huge Mad Max fans, and we all rode Kawi's. I had a 78 Z1R1000, sorry I sold it. I'm presently building a basket case KZ1100. See you on the road skag.
Hey Brother, thanks for checking out this build! If you are in to these old-school Kawi's, you gotta be a fan of Mad Max!!! Good luck on your KZ1100 project ... we still have a couple KZ1000's patiently waiting their turn on the operating table! 👍👍👍
OMG I want this bike. Best sounding motor!
We couldn't agree with you more - there is something about these old school machines that is no longer present in today's bikes! Thanks for checking her out!
Bikes are not even my thing but this is A Hot Rod...COOL! That sound Reminds me of High School back in the 80s
Thanks for the feedback, Jeff - you are right man, we grew-up on these bikes starting back in the 80's ... yes, our high-school days too! It is tough to beat the sound of these in-line 4 cylinder motors running a good 4 into 1 pipe!
A thing of beauty!! Shouldn’t it say Kwaka on the side?😂
Thank you for your comments and for checking out this build, Rockin' Ross - we like your taste in bikes! And yes, it should!!!
I absolutely love what you've done with the bike the Tail fan extended swingarm the struts it looks badass are those gauges off of a GSXR the motor looks awesome great bike
Hey Rob, we really appreciate your positive feedback and taking the time to check out this bike ... you have an eye for detail! That is a universal gauge from the folks at Koso (RX2NR - 16,000 RPM).
What tailight did you use on this build?
Love the concept! Not a huge fan of extended swing arms on street bikes personally but overall the bike is cool.
That's a bad mama jama sounds good looks good everything good. I sent this video to all my old school friends.
Thanks man ... sounds like you may have grown-up in the same era as us. These bikes were the shit back in the day ... we still love them! Thanks for your comments and for checking out this build!
The new bike can't get that sound. Like the 80's. I grew up in that time. I was about 13yrs old at the time. I love that sound
We realize that many of the modern bikes are incredible machines but, we agree with you, the sound of these old-school muscle bikes cannot be beat!
"You can shut the gate on this one, Maxie... it's the duck's guts!" Thanks for smile Sam!
I was never a big fan of the 1,000J engine. But I like the way you made the bike look like an earlier one.
The pipe, however, is too low and at an odd angle. I know it's an "off the shelf" item. But it needs to be cut and re shaped IMO
Thank you for the feedback and for checking out this build Ed. We do our best to accommodate our client's requests when it comes to their custom machines. He wanted an old school drag race bike look when he brought us his donor bike. Anyone familiar with these old school quarter mile drag bikes will recognize this exhaust ... often called the "sidewinder" pipe. Not ideal for normal street riding but perfect for the drag strips!
You made the goose proud .woooooooo nightrider.
Thank you for the kind words and for checking out this build, Michael ... much appreciated Sir ... nothing like the old KZ's!!!
Spot on! Just phenomenal!
Thank you for checking her out and for leaving a positive comment on this build - we sincerely appreciate it!
That is the most awesome kz i have ever seen. If i ever have the money i want you to restore my 80 kz1000.
badass man great job
Thank you for your positive feedback and for your time to check out this build Rob! Much appreciated Brother!
So sick dude
Thank you for checking her out and for leaving us some positive feedback Sir! Our customer absolutely loved how she turned out ... definitely a sick looking machine!!!
Make sure you do your research as many of the larger car tachs with shift lights are not really compatible with the electronic signal needed from the bike!
Nice bike Skag!
Hey Das Boot, thank you for taking the time to check her out and leaving us some positive feedback! "I'm Scared, Fifi. You Know Why? It's That Rat Circus Out There. I'm Beginning To Enjoy It." 👍
Something about the sound of that motor….It’s like a Ferrari GTO exhaust note. Like music….
We agree - it is pretty tough to beat the sound of an old school in-line Kawi 4 cylinder breathing through a 4 into 1 pipe without a baffle! Thanks for commenting and checking out this video Jason ... stay safe Brother!
that sound..... o.o now I need to watch Mad Max 1 when I get home xD
+nick highland Yeah Nick, Mad Max (only the original!) will let you get your Kawi Fix on!
Bad ass kawasaki kz1000 that's the kawasaki sports bike that started the kawasaki Ninja 1000
Thanks for checking her out and for your positive comments Gary - much appreciated! Yes, the Z1's and KZ's set the new bar for bikes back in the 70's ... they were revolutionary for sure and are still awesome machines, in our humble opinion!
I want that bike love it
Thank you for checking her out Dillion - yeah, these old school KZ1000's are such cool machines for so many reasons!
Yes Sir, Maybe some day I'll have another one. :)
I love it....that kawasaki krackle
Thank you for checking her out Todd, we appreciate it Sir! Have a great New Year!
Road ruler I’ve had 11 of those. Still have 79. Kz 1000
Hey Eric, thanks for he note - you obviously have great taste when it comes to bikes ... these are arguably the best machines ever built by a motorcycle company! Good to know you have been able to hold on to one! Thanks for checking out this one.
incredibile sound!!!
Thank you ... and we agree!!!
before pics? that is an amazing transformation!
Gotta have it
Thanks for checking her out ... yeah, she's definitely a great looking machine and a keeper for our customer!
Very Nice.MFP to Gosling one.
Thank you for taking the time to check her out and leaving a great comment Chris!!! " Hey, Midge, don't write off the Goose until you see the box going into the hole. " 😉
I love what you did. I have a 96 1000P and if you don't mind I want to copy some of your work. Could you please tell me what brand tach/spedo you used and what seat. I would really appreciate it thanks. You guys rock.
Thank you for checking her out Greg! So, the seat/tail piece is most likely from a mid-70's Z-1 or KZ1000 - not totally sure as our customer provided it to us when he brought the bike in. You can find the Tach on eBay, just do a search on the following "Koso North America RX2-NR GP-Style Race Tachometer - BA015000 2201-0085" - hope that helps. Best of luck on your own KZ1000P Project! BBR
Toe cutter I have a z1 900 getting overhaul will post some pics when iam rolling yours sounds crisp "tuesday"
Thanks for the note and for checking out this build, JJ ... and good luck with your Z1 ... these bikes are simply some of the best bikes that came out of Japan!
sounds sooooo gooood🤤
Thank you for checking her out and taking the time to leave a great comment!
Great looking bike. How about a custom without the hardtail? I am thinking of purchasing a kz1000p and would like to customize it, any other examples you have? Keep up the great work!
Sooo sooo SWEET!!!!
T Bradow Thank you, Sir! Yes, our customer loves this beast!
BADASSNESS
Hey Sean, thank you for checking her out and leaving us an excellent comment - says it all! 👍👍👍
@@barebonerides No problem. That bike is a demon. What are the engine specs? I'm having a 1983 GS 1100E built by Dayton Performance out of Dayton Ohio. A pro street style bike. Also purchased a 1976 KZ 900. It's got a 4" stretch, VH pipe and 29 smoothbores.There is nothing better than Old School!!!
Don't write off the Goose till you see the box goin' into the hole.
I am jealous...congrats
Thank you for checking out this build and the video Hanga - much appreciated!
That motha fucxah sound good & looks good 👍⭐
Thanks for the feedback and for checking out our video!
Nice
Thanks for checking her out and leaving us some positive feedback, Clark - have a great 4th of July celebration!
Rare bike❤❤❤❤
Thank you for checking out this build and taking the time to leave a comment. She is a cool machine for sure!
💥Clean ✅ I Like💥
Thank you for taking the time to leave us positive comments and for checking out this build!
What a sound
Thanks for your note - we agree, it is tough to beat the sound of a nice 4 into 1 pipe on one of these old school 4 cyl. Kawi motors!
SWEET SYMPHONY....................
Thank you for the note!!!
I had a 83 CB 1100 f. Loved the bike, but I like Kawasaki's and Suzuki's. I'm sure I am not the only one that wants to know. How much it would cost someone to roughly fix a bike like this?
Thank you for your feedback on this bike and for watching the video, Earl! As you can imagine, it is not so easy to provide an estimate for a build without knowing some details of your bike or the donor bike. That being said, lets say you have a KZ1000 donor bike that is already 100% mechanically sound and running 100% ... for us to replicate this bike (we would never produce two of the same bikes but, can make one similar), one would need to invest roughly $5-$6K with us ... as of March 2018.
someone did a damn fine job on that old girl
+Michael Horsford Hey Michael, thanks for the feedback Sir - yes, our customer loves this machine!
+barebonerides id love a mark 2 done up sorta like that with the monster piston kit i had an 1980 with a 1326 kit it was sweet
+Michael Horsford Yes Sir ... good to see there are still folks out there that know and appreciate these classic machines!
+barebonerides oh yes im in ga theres a huge number a ppl that love to race them ....ive done both ... nothing like a old kaw ! REMEMBER THE KNIGHT RIDER Lol
+Michael Horsford CLASSIC!!! We need to keep these babies breathing man!!!
Great bike. My question is how did you get the tail piece to work on a later model bike. I would love to have a tail piece on my bike
Thank you for checking her out and reaching out to us. You will need to do some modifications/chopping on the subframe to make this older tail piece fit/mount on to the bike. We have done this many times with other makes/models of bikes - you will definitely need to be able to do some welding to add mounting tabs to make this happen. Fortunately for our customer, he purchased this donor bike with the tail piece already fit to the subframe. We only had to do some clean-up on the subframe and eliminated some unneeded tabs/mounts. Good luck on your project - and if you cannot fabricate/weld steel and if you do not have a friend that can help with this portion of your build, then look for a local metal/welding shop to see if they would be willing to work with you on this effort. It is quite straight forward for someone that knows how to work with metal!

Thanks for checking out this build and your leaving us a positive comment! We (and our customer) has received many compliments on this project. It was not an overly complex build but the color, stance, sound, etc. just came together nicely! Thanks again!
Where can I get the swing arm for that bike I have a KZ 750 that I’m needing like to order the same stretch swing arm if you can help me out please thank you
Hey there, thanks for checking out this video. Pretty certain you will not be able to find a company that is still fabricating stretched swingers for your bike - we recommend you look on ebay and try to source a good used one there. Or, go the a local race track and try to speak with other folks that may have stretched swingers on their KZ's ... they may have a recommendation for a local welder/fabricator who has the ability/skill to extend your swingarm properly/safely. Good luck with your KZ750!
Too cool
Thank you for checking her out, Chad - we sincerely appreciate your comment!!!
... just put a few pennies a day away ... you'll be there before you know it!!!
Congratulations! hell of a bike, great work.
for any chance do you know the paint's code number? Loved that grey
Thank you for the note, Guillermo - we appreciate the feedback! We went back and search for the color code we used on this bike and I believe we found it (95% sure we found the color). This is a PPG Paint and a Hyundai color, Brand Code 930233 called Titanium Gray / Mineral Gray. Also, we used a PPG Matte Clear Coat over the color called Pre-Flexed Matte Clear D8102. Hope this helps man! Good luck on your bike!
barebonerides I have a z1000 A2. But I think I'm gonna paint my 93 civic! Thank you very much! You were too kind. Once I made my project I will send you some pics. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for the encouragement, Guillermo - and good luck with your projects! Nice bike by the way!!!
What seat are you running I have a 82 LTD on the building
Hey there, thank you for checking out this video. Although we are not positive as our customer provided the tail-piece and seat combination (we just recovered the seat), we are pretty certain the tail-piece is from a mid 70's KZ1000. The seat likely came from the same bike with the foam cut down for a lower profile. Hope that helps!
Hi.
Did you change the sprockets or are they standard factory set-up?
I have a 1990 KZ1000P here in the UK and I find the revs are too high in 4th & 5th gear. I was thinking about changing the sprockets rather than taking out the gearbox to alter the internal gears. What's your thoughts?
Wayne.
Hey Wayne, this particular bike came to the shop with the sprockets you see ... not sure about the front sprocket but, the rear one is definitely not stock with a few less teeth than the stock Police version. As you know, the stock versions came with some huge rear sprockets ... gave these bikes some awesome acceleration (perfect for police chases). We suggest you check out some KZ forums and see what the folks recommend as the best set-up for all around street riding ... we would assume that many folks even go to a smaller/lighter chain (say a 530 vs the stock 630) and 2-3 teeth smaller on the rear sprocket. Again, before you do anything, check the forums and get in touch with the KZ experts - they will set you in the right direction or at a minimum, give you a good starting point - then tweak as necessary for personal preference/riding performance! Good luck man!
Thanks for taking the time to reply. It's really appreciated. I'll keep looking for a solution whilst I enjoy looking at your projects. Cheers!
Wayne Saville No worries, Wayne! And thank you for checking out our other builds!
Badass
Thank you, Brother!!!
. Being KzRider myself share the f wealth
Thank you for checking her out Sir!!! 👍👍💪💪
Can I ask the specifics of that exhaust system, looking for something just like that.
Hey Joshua, many call that exhaust a "side winder" pipe from back in the day - it was designed mainly for 1/4 mile racing because it really limits the bikes ability to turn/lean right. It is definitely not an ideal pipe for normal street riding. The more traditional 4 into 1 pipe the snakes under the bike is a much better option!
@@barebonerides Thanks, for 7 years ago that's a fast response.
@@Jbrooks7177 No worries Joshua - happy to respond and thanks for checking out the video!
my 02 kz1000p needs new pipes any recommendations?
Hey there, thanks for the note. Sadly, there are not many options out there for new exhaust systems for these old machines. You can always try eBay for a decent used system? Mac makes a new 4 into 1 system - not the best out there but good value for money. Check out this site (we order a lot of parts from these folks: www.nichecycle.com/ncs/categories/exhaust/head-pipes/991-0901hp-kawasaki-kz900-kz1000-tri-y-head-pipes-by-mac-performance.html). There is a new Kerker system on eBay that could potentially fit - since the KZ1000P's are slightly different than the standard KZ1000's from that era, you will need to do some research with Kerker first to make sure it will fit your bike! (www.ebay.com/itm/115639048635). Good luck on your search ... great machines!!!
Such a shame. Those bikes are worth a lot more fully equipped than naked and chopped.
Bubba Zanetti 🏍🏍🏍
👍👍👍 Gotta love everything about Mad Max!!! Thanks for checking her out!
Is there no rear suspension on this bike? Is that what I'm seeing?
That is correct Ed ... this is the set-up our customer was looking for ... a 1/4 mile drag-bike look!
@@barebonerides Ok, cool. I love the flat gray paint too
@@edjackson4389 Thanks again, Ed ... glad you are diggin' this build!
We recommend you google "KZ750 Swingarm Stretch" ... you will get a a lot of hits on various forums - mant dudes have already done this to their 750's and list places that have these swingarms for 750's!!!

Thank you for checking out this build and for leaving us a nice comment!!!
That exhaust sounds exactly like from the mad max movie. What exhaust did you use?
That pipe is a Vance and Hines "side-winder" pipe ... keep in mind that these side-winder pipes are designed for the quarter mile race track (straight line racing) as it really can limit how much you lean the bike on right-hand turns! The baffle is removable which can really help to enhance that incredible sound! Thanks for checking her out!
barebonerides thx bro
No worries Mr. Stark!
barebonerides quick question why does it limit how much you lean on the right hand turns?
The side-winder pipe really decreases the ground clearance on the bike (especially the right side). So any sharp right turns could be a problem - you definitely will not be able to drag a knee on the right side but, then again, the makers of the pipe assumed their headers would end-up on 1/4 mile drag bikes!
What front forks are you using?. & what front fender are you using?. & what kind of rims are those on this kz? Are they suzuki rims?.
As I recall, the front forks were the standard KZ Forks, the rear wheel is from a mid-2000's Honda CBR1000RR, the front wheel is from a late 90's Suzuki GSF1200 Bandit, not sure what the front fender came off of ... these are the parts that were already on this bike when our customer brought her in for a transformation. Thanks for checking out the video.
barebonerides alrighty thank you my brother! That really helped. I have an 1979 gs1000 & I doing the same exact setup as this. & yes sir your welcome.
No worries, Kamba - happy to help! Good luck on your '79 GS1000 Project. We recently completed a 1978 GS1000 Build for a customer - definitely not along the same lines as our KZ1000 Mad-Max build but, definitely a nice machine that has the blending of the old and the new! Here is a link to the reassembly video: ua-cam.com/video/aP_oOPzSecM/v-deo.html
Awesome!! What seat was used on this build?
Thank you for checking her out Izzy - glad you like this build. This bike remains in our customer's collection and one of his favorite toys! The tail piece is actually a stock Kawasaki Z1 modified slightly to mount to the frame and transition for the seat. Thanks again for looking!
Bare Bone Rides Thanks! Actually building up a KZ1100 now and I appreciate the help in answering. 🍻
@@mdfrtech Awesome! Good luck on your KZ1100 Build - nice machines!
Like the seat. What's it from?
The seat/tail are from a late 70's KZ1000 (as far as we know - not completely sure but, fairly certain). Thanks for checking her out!
barebonerides Am pretty sure it's from a later Ninja, but am not sure either. I thought I might try one if I could find the year, as not all will easily adapt. But thanks anyway!
the thing is I want to make a bike just like jim goose...maxs partner.
kz1000 custom racing fairings that in some cases cost more than the bike
Yeah, it would be plenty pricey if you wanted to exactly replicate The Goose's ride ... but, never hurts to continue your search for these body pieces - you may find a deal out there in cyber-space!!! Good luck with your build!
Hey do you have more pics of this proyect?
Sure ... have a look at our website. There is more information and several before/during/after photos of this project. Enjoy and let us know if you have any questions. Thanks for looking! (here is the link for this build: barebonerides.com/1986-kawasaki-kz1000p-mad-max--drag-bike-build.html )
Hi what are those pipes? Are they available in the uk?
They should be available in the UK - they are made by Vance & Hines and are called Sidewinder or Pro-Sidewinder pipes ... mainly used for 1/4 mile drag bikes!!! Good luck!
how much stretch is on the swngarm and where can i get one
Hey Christina, thank you for checking out this project. Our customer brought us this bike with the stretched swingarm already installed. It is quite a stretch - likely around 6-7 inches but, we are not positive. Once in a while, good/used/stretched swingarms do come up on ebay but, not very often for these old-school bikes. Just be a bit careful if you are considering a used one as there are many out there that appear to have some "sketchy" (home-made) welding that may not be very safe. Good luck on your search!
Do you have any info on parts on this bike? I'm interested in the seat and rear set up of the bike.
Thanks for your note ... our customer brought us this bike with those parts already on the bike. The tail piece is likely from a stock Kawasaki Z1 - mid-1970's. To be honest, we are not sure what bike the seat was from - it did require some modification in order to be a better fit on this bike ... we think the seat may be from a Yamaha FJ1100 or 1200 but, we cannot be sure. Sorry we don't have more info. on the seat! Thanks for checking out the video!
barebonerides thank you for the reply, i will continue the search, this bike is bad ass and exactly how I've pictured my kz1k. Thank you once again on the reply, i know the video has some age on it 👌👌👌
No worries and we wish you the very best with your KZ Project!!! Thank you for the feedback too - we sincerely appreciate it!!!
I’m getting a 1/24 scale one which will be gooses bike
NICE! I believe there is a Japanese model company that made several of the Mad Max bikes, including Goose's machine! Have fun and good luck on your model! Thanks for checking out this build!
the bike is for the back of the truck in mad max 1 do you know when Johnny the boy threw the brake drum at the red Ute and they incinerate him in we built a model of it now I have to just put the bike in which will be coming soon
Yes, I know that scene - actually, I know every scene in Mad Max, one of the all time classics in my book! When you finish the model, we would appreciate seeing a couple photos Pazuza! Thanks man! joseph@barebonerides.com
barebonerides We have done we just need the bike that’s all
barebonerides I’ll put it on youtube when it’s done
What sender unit Ru using for the tach??
That is a Koso Tach (Model# RX2N)... as I recall, it gets wired-up directly to one of the coils for the RPM signal. Pretty straight forward! Thanks for checking out the video!
Thxs man..ur bikes are sick I watched all ur videos in one night
brucekirk89 Right on!!! We appreciate your feedback on these builds - we try to keep things simple!
I gotta have it?
I don't think our customer and the owner of this classic machine will be parting with her anytime soon! You may just have to build one yourself! There are some good donor bikes out there but they all continue to increase in price/value!
Were did u get ur taillight
Thanks for checking out this build. We had that tail light in our inventory - can't remember where he sourced this light ... check eBay and search on "wide" or "long" Cat-Eye Tail Light - they are out there!

We are located in Merritt Island, Florida (USA).
It's the ducks guts
Hey Ian, to be honest, I had go look-up the meaning of "ducks guts" to see if that was a compliment or criticism ... turns out, you like this build! Thank you for the positive feedback and checking her out. I believe ducks guts is an Australian slang term ... I spent time in Australia and definitely had not heard this expression. Cheers Mate!
@@barebonerides Yes , it translates to English slang as "THE DOG'S BOLLOCKS" I'm over the half century mark 🎅and grew up on madmax /John Wayne /burt lancaster /and my dad was in the army, he'd go Germany and bring me back loads of conkers 😄and an early stretch Armstrong, stay cool homey and av a gud'n mate 😎🙋💪👍
@@ianmangham4570 Thank you for the note, Ian ... those Stretch Armstrong toys are now super collectable here in the States ... especially the green monster character. There was an episode of Pawn Stars where Corey paid like $1200 just for the monster's head! Anyway, we also grew up in the same era ... Mad Max will always be an all time favorite of ours - a true CLASSIC! Sadly, the days of John Wayne and Burt Lancaster are done ... stay well and stay safe Brother!
@@barebonerides It was one hell of a present and the weight was insane, my older brother clobbered me about the head with it and it really gave you a good crack 😄,av a gud'n bro 🙋 👍
@@ianmangham4570 Too funny ... yeah, older brothers will do that!
