The Devils Advocate

Hello Boys and Girls,

These are the pics of a bike build that we started over the weekend. It has a lot of sentimental value attached to it so I'm sure you will enjoy it. The client Nimit insisted we built a custom bike around his Dads Rajdoot 1969 as it was the first motorcycle bought i their family and it was the motorcycle that his Dad started his career on. So we took this almost junked motorcycle and turned it around so Nimit could felicitate his father.

The Devils Advocate as we fondly call it because of its almost enticing red colour and devils horn shaped swing arm was different from anything we have built, Firstly because the rajdoot has a very unique chassis and front suspension system as you will see, and secondly because we wanted to retain its very vintage appeal. So we retained the front suspension and gave it a new feel by incorporating disc braking systems and forward foot controls. The sheet metals are all custom and so are all the accessories.

We began the build at 6 pm on Saturday and completed the build at 6:30 am on Sunday. so most of the photographs you see will be blurred as they were taken in the middle of the night or wee hours of the morning.

The bike has a very vintage look blended with modern features. Sweet Chrome plated wire wheels and look alike springer seat.
The front number plate is fitted on the front mudguard like in the older BSA's and Nortons and the mudguards have really finely finished pipe fittings which give her a 1940' look.

The sheet metals like the tank and fenders are in a deep...deep....red and have Shelby style racing stripes running down left side. This gave her a much needed racy look.

The Guys were all at it for 12 hours straight and we were so satisfied to watch her in the morning.

With Sweet accessories like carburettor covers and steel sheathed disc brake cable she looked like a shiny little bomb.

Come back to see her fully built and see a video of her test ride!!!!!
