It's a Mistake

Don't let your mates paint your bike,a friend painted my frame while i was in hospital.God bless him,he put one big thick coat on it.
Now it is falling off.(Bugger)

Umm... it's the thought that counts?

Tell us more about your bike!

Well it will be easier striping it down the second time but what a pain having to do it over,What model is your bike, 1966 or earlier

The bike is a W1SP-A not sure what year but it is in almost as new condition.It had the wrong carbs on it as you can see from the top photo off a 450 or something.
So i got a set from Germany in exelent condition.I am starting to think the undercoat is the paint problem,i will re do it with a 2 pack under coat that we use on our aircraft frames.
I am hoping to find a CB750 police bike around 1973 ish for my next project or a cop Z900.

A couple more.

A few years back.

Great resto on a pretty rare bike. W1 models were the original *big* kwakka......hard to find these days.

Beautiful!

Hey Gos, they were a pretty close copy of a pommie bike wernt they??

That's a gorgeous bike..

Very similar to this one - http://www.ksrc-au.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=42631

I know someone who has a cb cop bike for sale , I think its a 750 still has all the old police gear with it . In WA though .

.....Hey Gos, they were a pretty close copy of a pommie bike wernt they?? .....

pretty much Steve - it was a copy of a BSA A7. Better metallurgy (even back then) than the pommie bikes.

Good examples of this bike are getting hard to find......

I was interested in what VALHERU70 had to say re a bike in WA. I am from Qld and have a W1SP in my shed waiting to be restored when I return Home. We are travelling in WA at the moment and would love to see the bike he mentioned can he please contact me. I am in Kunununna at the moment. Old_Toad.

The guy selling the bike will be over here mid august , I will pm you his email .
