New member from Somerset - UK!
« on: December 23, 2015, 07:26:06 AM »
Hello,

My name is Scott, I live in Somerset, UK. I am 21 and work as a product designer/tool designer. I am very into motorcycles and have been from a young age, with mainly two stroke Yamaha's, I have completed several restorations and I am just in the final stages of a Yamaha TA125 replica, please see my restoration thread here:

http://www.aircooledrdclub.com/smf/index.php?topic=37574.0


I produce replica parts in my own time, to part fund my projects and allow them to be as accurate as possible without breaking the bank. I would like to do this with the CR replica project but also I am happy to help anybody out where I can, I am involved with some replica bantam parts at the moment as well :)

I am very interested in building a CR750 replica for my next project, I would like it to be as accurate as the bank allows! I am completely new to the Honda scene, and would like to know some more information about the CR replicas, what is possible, where to locate good components etc.

Cheers
CR21

Hi Mick, I applied a few days ago to the U.K site, but have not been approved yet, is there anybody I can email about this?

Thanks

Thanks guys, getting quite excited about the project I must say, however I am avoiding the temptation of starting this before my other replica is finished!


Cheers
