Hi just finished the build after doing it for a year off and on. MOTed today and gone on eBay. My plan was to use it for a fun summer bike but doing bike licence so I'll be riding my bmw instead.
Be nice to see what you guys think of black Betty. Or even if anyone you fellas are interested. I'm not expecting to actually get £10,000, but it got your attention didn't it lol

Be nice to know what you guys think, likes or dislikes.i wanted it keep the c90 look. I'm hoping to do another one later this year. I've learnt a lot from this the first one, so may go crazy on the second.

Hi, looks ok, possible people not replied due to some reasons, :)

my views,

the bikes look good, we are all into different things, ( look at the plop racing ) that i do and enjoy, but not much following on here,

very impractical to go to work on every day, where are you going to stick your waterproofs or sandwiches, ( would it look good with a top box............. :D ) i don think so.

i think most people on here enjoy the cubs in all modes and it reliability,

now that a good few company's have started up around the chop seen people expect a very good / out of the box way of thinking when customs are made, you get your barry bolt ons, ( that is me ) :lol:, And the people who can have imaginative minds to create some new cutting edge designs,

Now with the cubs turning up at some major shows and winning top awards,
The bar has been set higher for mr Joe public to dish out on a custom cub,

As ive seen a few around that people think they can build to that quality,
with a hacksaw in one hand and a HI LEVEL catalogue in the other.

I'll elaborate.

I like it.

It still looks like a Cub and has good lines.

If I bought it I'd fit apes and not a lot else. That's simply because I like apehangers not because it needs them.

Great job! :)

I really like your cub, I only seen my 1st custom cub at this years Northwest 200 Road Races & was blown away!

(Sadly rider Malachi Mitchell Thomas lost his life & my heart felt condolences go out to his family & friends)

I have built a street fighter years ago (I know, mainly only striped down sports bike with renthal bars) well it was for me anyway, and also tried to build a bobber after taking an angle grinder to my Yamaha Radian.....give up once i realised how much it was gonna cost to get it to look how i wanted.
As soon as I got home I started looking into doing my own build, hopefully at least start it this summer but have lots of research to do 1st:-)
I wish you well with your sale and with interest look forward to your next project.
That really is one sweet looking cub!
