Well I'm excited to finally get the chance to enter a build off. It is the perfect opportunity to finish this 68 TT500. The plan is to restore it back to original besides having a few extra pieces chrome plated. The engine will be white, the bike is going to be painted the original red metallic...

Many thanks to Bill and Pat for administering the 2016 Build Off, and thanks to Hent for the continued support throughout. Thanks as well to the many participants. I generally do not offer comments in build threads, or refrain from doing so until a project is finished. I do follow all...

Well I wasn't gonna start one, but here it is. Got this off Brown boonie's nephew. Main goal is make it my windber ride. Needs some fab work but not too bad. I have made worse look better. Not sure on my power plant yet. I have a cool windshield I found that will be going with this build too.

My entry is a very, very rough and all original (down to the November 1971 date coded headlight) 1972 JC Penney (Rupp) Swinger Trail brought back to it's former glory. Right now, I plan on 4 slight deviations from original that at a glance to the untrained eye will still look correct. 1)...

This is a roller I got at windber from Randy ( gumpit ) . Not sure if he new it but everything on it was original to the bike . The throttle, brake lever , brakes and linkage, kick stand and tries . Only things missing were the motor and chain Guard . I now have a correct 3 hp TEC and I will...

Well here goes nothing. Started a bike last year and never finished it. Hopefully this year I will finish. I haven't collected all the parts yet but have located them if that makes sense. Lol The power plant is going to be a Honda gx200 with some goodies. Going to try a squeeze a 14x5.50-6...

This is gonna be a restore of the smallest bike in the Alexander Reynolds lineup. It's the bike in the upper left corner of the brochure. It's a stripped down no frills bare bones model. Compared to most bikes that will be in this build off. it's just a simple basic bike but I been tripping...

Here is what we are starting with :thumbsup: Mid 70's Toyoco Masher 500, I have some PW80 fork legs on their way and I need to find a set of rear shocks that will work and other than a few small things I think I have every thing I will need to finish this build :thumbsup: I'm not sure if it will...

This is my first one, been itching to do this for months! I also have a Rupp, decided to do the Sport Bike because you don't see too many of them in the build off. Might still do the Rupp, we'll see how things go with the Sport Bike first. Is this a good enough pic?
