Let me draw your attention to said item 1 3/4 inches from the ground on this!!!

It sounds like thunder!

The secret I want to share about it...

It's Massey Ferguson TE20 grey!

And... It has attachments for a plough

Shall I get a red one...

Or grey

Nice. I'll post a pick of my brother and his friends choppers they build. One with a zx9 motor the other with a fzr1000.

TRX motor is a very nice motor to use for this...just not mine!

not sure it can be classed as a TRX any more ??

Well, as a piece of engineering and an exercise in what can be done, I think it's great!

I can tell there's been a load of care and skill gone into it: think the 'progress' photos on your link on your post explain it nicely.

As for if its to my own taste....

It has three nicknames

The TREX

The TReXtor

And ThundeRX (The Thunder Horse)

It shakes like a TRX

It would look great with Angelina Jolie on it

It must still be one LOL

You know that bum pad that wears out on the tailpiece?

Not the one you sit on, the one that stops you from sliding off...

Now I know why it wears out

Give it a handful and it is all about holding on for dear life.

Here is my brothers chopper. ZX9 motor in a custom rigid frame. Custom tank & exhaust (still unfinished, but needed to slap it together for the booze cruise)

His friends one...FZR1000 motor in custom rigid frame. Custom tank & exhaust (wish I had a photo of this ones exhaust). ZX14R rims and front end. This one has a little MTB shock inder the seat with like 10mm of travel (not much)

Some more pics...

Build all in garage...pipe bender, welder and grinder.

Something like super bike meets chopper...old school meet new school.

LOVE those frames. Shove a twin in that and it would be absolutely perfect.
