Well if you did does this remind you of anyone?
I was mocking up the indicator brackets and had a funny thought...
They won't work very well with vertical orientation, but I thought they looked funny.

All you need now is one of those flat ligts across the bottom and youve got the mechanical 'face'

Thanks lane. Of course the beam patterns are a little vertical which might pose a slight problem.

That bike reminds me of 'Short Circuit'.

Nice "Elsified" RD.
Why does it look so sad? Not ridden enough? maybe it knows you love another (bike) more.

It sounds like the perfect name for your project bike Richard " Wall-E"

Dave,
I'm not sure how to interpret that comment.
Is it because it spends all its time in what looks like a refuse tip?
Or because it will clean up?
or because it is fast, smart and adaptable.. yeah right.
BTW, the wiring is starting to come together, but I need to order either an Acewell, Koso or TrailTech Vapor soon.
The numberplate is an old race plate bent with heat from a plastic welding gun (hot air) and a wooden block. Easy stuff. At the moment it is fitted with a patented light weight, Q/D retention system aka masking tape.
Next item of business will be cables and when the crank comes back I'll have to start cutting the ports.
So much work, so little money.......

How did they manage to make a cartoon robot look cute?
BTW did you notice the genuine TR750 (look) radiator?
