    Hello Boys.
    My english is horrible, but I try to show you my last disaster.
    I'm working on a new project, so it is a work in progress, that I would like to complete around Christmas. It could be my Christmas Gift to my self!! :evil:evil
    And it is based on my lc8 Adventure 950.
    I will show to you my progress.
    The idea is to produce something more usable off road, with a different weight distribution, lighter front, lighter weight and more concentrate on the center of the bike.

    Stay tuned.....:freaky

    Interesting project, Meoni (spelling?) Had it right. To much weight up front currently.

    The LC8 is such a sexy bitch when you strip off her clothes.

    Are you fabricating the exhaust and rear subframe yourself?

    Ill be watching your artwork. I can already tell that you are quite the fabricator.
    You might want to switch out those smooth tires for better dirt performance. LOL

    Probably the old exhaust lost a bit.

    Probably you will not see yet on the web site because mine was the prototype.
