Drouin Supercharged Zed makeover.
Yesterday 11:21 - Yesterday 12:22
[justify]A little something i've been working on over the past six weeks or so while i take a break from the Turbo Moriwaki build which is dragging on far too long.
Some of you may recall the Drouin Supercharged Zed i built back in 2008 which has been pretty much a garage ornament for the past ten years with most of it spent on a shelf i made to gain floor space for a milling machine.[/justify]
Fast forward to mid April this year when a fit of new found enthusiasm and inspiration from the Racecrafters build led me to thinking that it shouldn't take much work to get a similar look for the Drouin and a bike that i might actually want to ride.
So after dumping the drop bars ,vapour dash, big headlight and Green paint job (which i grew to hate) for some Renthals, risers, GPZ1100 unitrack clocks, number board and my take on the one year only 1976 Wes Cooley Yoshi style livery this is the result which was completed today.
It's hard to believe the difference a relatively few changes have made and the bike is barely recognisable from it's former self.
Hope you like it..
