More concepts and my need to be creative























Some of us need to be creative on a daily basis, it’s a like oxygen, without it I feel I would suffocate. So here are four more ideas exploring the use of leather belts, diagonal lines through the tank/sidecovers, some more wood and a red seat patch.

Motorcycle Seat Repair & Modify 101







The right rear corner of the seat was ripped anyway, so I thought I might as well do a cut and shut job on the seat to improve the ‘lines’. The local wrecker was in a generous mood and gave me an old seat for just $5 (probably all its worth) so I could salvage it to repair my seat. I don’t want the seat to look brand new, but still want a custom look. See if you can figure out what I am going to do using the two images as a reference

What’s going on here then?



Apart from the fact that I’m almost out of Scotch....

Lucas type 679 Beehive Tailight



Received my new vintage Lucas type 679 ‘Beehive’ tailight from Trojan Classic Motorcycles. This was used on most British motorcycles from 1968-72. Looks very good, all I need to do now is make a nice looking bracket to mount it with.

Pre-loved stuff from the verge side


Who doesn’t love rummaging through piles of old junk? You never know what you might find! We are currently getting ready for a bulk rubbish collection, so everyone is piling up their junk on the verges. These are a few old bits I had pulled out of the piles. A couple of old leather straps & loops, some weathered timber veneer and a first generation iMac keyboard. Should be interesting to see how we can make use of these items.
