Bringing everyone up to speed on Born Again Bikes' shop activity

[grandpaul]

For those of you that don't know about my restoration shop, Born Again Bikes, I've had a pretty busy year!

Completed Projects:
Top end job on a 76 Triumph Bonneville 750
Total salvage rebuild of a '99 Kawasaki ZRX 1100 including new Texas Salvage Title
Refurbished and resold a '71 Norton 750 Commando Roadster
Restored & resold a '74 Kawasaki H1 500 triple
Built and sold a rolling project Norton 750 Commando Roadster
Refurbished and sold a '78 Honda GoldWing 1000
Did a "make run" on a very early 68 Norton 750 Commando Fastback
Did a "make run" on a rare 72 Dunstall Norton 750 Commando

New projects in work:
1967 Norton N15CS Atlas 750 Hybrid - total restoration
1975 Norton 850 Commando Mark III - custom monoshock & inverted fork coversion, plus engine overhaul
1974 Norton 850 Commando - custom build - Monoshock cafe racer, inverted forks & alloy tank

I've also got a previous restoration client's '53 Triumph T-Bird chopper for sale, and a couple of other previous client's bikes in the shop (one for "freshening up" after 4 years, the other for a top end oil leak under warranty)

BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!


EDIT - HA! Almost forgot; I also did the final build on my first custom Norton monoshocker, the Blue Dreer bike!

Excellent, Paul. I am delighted that you had a successful year.

I have bought some parts from your shop before, with very good experience. Glad to see you guys will stay around.

Thanx, Trev.

The latest creation just sprang to life on friday, on the third kick-

It's a long story, and I hope it will have a happy ending when I sell it! This is the first custom bike I build from scratch, OUT OF MY POCKET! I had to put a hefty chuck of debt on my credit card to do this, and I HATE having credit card debt following me around.

I'll probably copy the whole build thread over here to get some activity in the classic section, but here's a link - 74 Norton monoshocker
