Hi guys,
Ive been chipping away at this TRX for a while.
Firstly let me say - this Mod may be an insult to some of you. Ive manipulated the frame etc etc. Feel free to sulk.
For those interested here is some TRX bike porn. The from end i ordered from Twig. The rear end has been a bit of a challenge with my mates in Sydney.
I'm expecting to get the gal on the road in the next 3 months.

I'm reserving opinion until it's more together. Amazing how ugly some babies are, but this has no reflection on their adult appearance.
Good to see someone doing something a bit different too. Had some interesting rex builds lately that have produced stunning results.

I was thinking of doing something along these lines but even more of a bob tail. In the end I really like the TRX tail so decide to clean the rear end up super tidy and take away all the dirty lines. Looking forward to seeing this one finished. Should look pretty good I reckon.

Looks nice. Have you but the pillion seat or boxed it?
It looks like it hangs over the rear wheel a lot more than mine.
Ive lost my licence 3 times... I'm keen to not give the cops an excuse...
BTW beautiful wheels. What are they?
