The Chump - Royal Enfield 500 Hardtail / Girder forks




After almost 2 years the hardtail experiment is running - Called it the Chump 'cause that's what I feel like for even attempting the project. Built in India and shipped here 90% complete after the builder gave up and threw it in a crate (sans various bits including extra tanks). Better than nothing, and boy is it loud ! (muffler to be fitted shortly).

Ornamental Conifer at it again - GSXR





Nicolai's laterst offering on this Gixxer looks straight off an 80's NASAR track - great original art again from the Salvador of Signs. (sorry 'bout that..)

Welcome to Australia Nico, hope it agrees with you !

I Love Monkey (don't we all) & Monkey Cruisin' - more great mags from Amazon Japan






Monkey Cruisin' doesn't sound too much fun with my big bones, but these bikes are works of art - tiny CB750's, Z1's and CB72's - fantastic dedication to the build.

Smallsun Royal Enfield Shipment 2 almost complete...


A mere 16 months after my first Royal Enfield Custom shipment (Cafe model above) I've almost got the girder fork / hard tail model ready to ship. Many hiccups along the way, but it's starting to take shape. Along with this there's a couple of custom tanks for CB350K1's (racing), a cafe tank for an XJ900 and a few boxes of Enfield parts. Let me know if you want a bike or parts made for the 3rd shipment !
Stay tuned for the launch of the website proper now we've ironed out the bugs....
