Paulages you need to get some pics up soon! You are responsible for many of us building hybrids after your massive 550/650 Hybrid build. I made one myself with a similar performance theme but modern suspension (monoshock)and brakes on a stockish looking CB550 frame BUT with a 650 engine stuffed in. I intend on modifying the engine but I'd love to know how your hybrid is holding up. We need an update and pics on your sweet build. Has it been reliable, fast and worth the trouble. Can you smoke CB750's and Z1 or H2 Kawasaki's (that's my dream)? Any new mods planned?

Well, right now pics would mostly be a bunch of boxes, but there will be more soon! Everything's apart right now...

And very soon there will be one more box!

Heres a photo of my 500 four replica, tz brake, I might replace it with a suzuki as maybe build a
td replica with a fzr250 engine same idea as the rc163 replica im building which is coming along
but rear brake is issue, I have a cb77 2 l/s rear plate which switched to the "wrong" side will turn into
"trailing" show and not be that effective so mainly for show than stop. Anyway been looking for a hub for
ages and cant get one in the uk, any other honda hubs fit without machining?
If I can get one i will need to sue something else until one comes along, I have a suzuki gt750 rear hub and plate
so will probably use that, anybody got any alternative suggestions ?
Want to have the rc163 on track this year already entered 1000 bikes at mallory so the race is on to
get it finished, Im using a modified suzuki 4 l/s front with honda replica plates still to source flanged rims,
tyres, and fairing, and probably one hundred things I have forgot about. oh yea rearests, a pair was on fleabay
the other week and went for about £150 quid, i thought that was too expensive but found them at discos
for £250 so I guess I will get my mate to make a pair.....
once that and my TZ rebuild out of the way might manage to get onto my Rickman CR Honda project, just picked
up a spare engine, they are heavy....

Thank God it wasn't a GS1100 or FJ1200 engine.

Hei Jingley, nice bike indeed

could be really cool if you opened your won thread about it's build rather than kidnap paul's...

Jinglyjangly · « **Reply #59 on:** February 17, 2013, 01:31:44 PM »

Thanks for your comment however Im not attempting to kidnap anybodys thread, I was commenting on the Brakes which people were discussing
The bike is built so no point in opening a thread to discuss its build, I will do on my next sohc honda four
project which is a rickman honda cr750 then sometime in the future I plan to build a rc172 replica

turboguzzi · « **Reply #60 on:** February 17, 2013, 01:42:56 PM »

Ok, no problem.

regardless, would be interesting to know about your bike, even if its completed already

Peace & Grease

No plans yet, but a European tour is likely in the near future. We just finished up a tour of Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia. I'm in Thailand with my wife for the next few weeks.. gotta put some serious time in on the RC project when I get home!

Yeah, my band TRAGEDY was on tour. Now I'm just kicking it in Thailand with my wife...renting motorcycles tomorrow and riding off into the mountains outside of Chiang Mai.
