Since the show Andy has sold the bike on and is now concentrating on a Yamaha XS650 which we hope will be just as unique as this bike.Welcome to our website. Final fuel capacity came in at 90mls (3 ounces), just enough to complete two laps and a celebratory burn out. Two large lengths were purchased along with enough small diameter pipe to make the fuel lines and he constructed the fuel system which is mounted inside the aluminum plate frame. As the bike was only required to complete one lap of a 1.7km track for the Rusty Kustom Build Off mileage was never a concern, so when Andy discovered some large diameter copper piping in the plumbing section he knew he was on to something. With 2 days left to the race Andy visited local hardware stores in search of something to function as a fuel tank.

“At slow speeds, legs drag along like training wheels due to the un-functional rake, but with a full twist of throttle it tucks nicely into a straight line – chin on the front wheel and your bum inches away from being sucked into the back tyre, it gets your heart pumping!” Finally, when he was happy with how it was looking he cut each of the pieces from a thick sheet of aluminum. With all the pieces cut, prepped and drilled the whole bike was put together in only 30 minutes! From his cardboard spider web, he then cut wooden templates that he was able to attach the parts and make further refinements. Andy then devised an interesting method for creating the bikes new frame which he had designed as a 3d model. The CT110 parts were propped in position and using cardboard from “countless” cereal packets which he suspended from the garage roof by string, he mocked up the bikes new frame. With an incredibly tight budget and no knowledge of bike building Andy set about creating the bike with no idea of exactly how it was going to turn out but with only 4 shorts weeks before the event he had his work cut out for him.Īfter discarding the Honda’s steel pressed frame and several unwanted components all that remained was the engine, front forks,2 wheels, swingarm and a pair of shocks. Andy who is an Architectural Draftsperson by trade, built Express Post to compete in an annual event organised by a group of close mates called the Rusty Kustoms Build-Off.
