Title: New tank..putting miles on the vintage voodoo
Post by ChrisTech on 05/08/14 at 16:48:06

I've put a few hundred miles on it since the build, and everything is perfect. I can let go of the bars and I can ride straight for miles, I've been riding pretty hard testing everything out

Weird,... shows rightside up when I click'em...

Anyway,... I just meant the comment as a subtle hint to make a quick correction.
I didn't mean for it to hijack...

Nice looking bike.. I'm not a hardtail fan, but that looks goood.
Especially like the black front end, and leather batt box...
Cool!.. ;)...

I uploaded them up with my ipad, I guess something went wrong. But I think we are getting a little to hung up on something stupid. The point I'm trying to make is, I think the voodoo frame is well put together, not for the feint of heart, I thought I got myself in too deep a couple of times.

Bike looks decent. You may want slightly taller seat springs. Other than that, nice job.

And the pics work fine if you click the link, I use Firefox.

Hey man, aren't you from Australia? they say that everything is upside down.. :)
but seriously, the bike was very cute. I am not a supporter of such projects, but I liked it.

really liked leather battery drawer. looks "in the subject".. and growls this beast too loud? the ears are not pawns?

Title: Re: New tank..putting miles on the vintage voodoo
Post by ChrisTech on 05/11/14 at 05:57:46

Ya, it's an old camera case, about $20 on eBay, couldn't find one the right size so I cut about a 3 inch piece out of the middle, but the belt and some sheet metal inside covers the cut.

Haha, that bike wouldn't last long on Australian roads. No fenders? uh uh. Defect. Brake light, ditto. And the number plate like that, thats a $600 fine right there. Sad but true. Too many laws here, and small minded police to enforce them. Mine got sent for inspection, partly because the cop didn't like the look of it and thought that I'd raked the front end without engineers certificate. This, despite being unable to identify the make or model of bike. Wankers.

Unlike most things Virginia s pretty relaxed when I comes to antique vehicles. It dosnt even need to be inspected, I don't have a speedo, turn signals, basically frame, motor, and battery. I don't ride this bike far, just around town. I'm building an 81 kz440 for my every day bike, I'm going with a full fairing cafe racer for that bike. I've never been pulled while on a motorcycle by Virginia cops, most of them ride in their spare time and speed just like us.
