Tamiya 1/12 Yamaha XV1000: Chopped and Bobbed


Recommended Posts

Well, I reckon I'm calling this one done! I had oodles of fun putting this together, or chopping it up, or both at the same time. Tamiya make a hell of a good kit so it seemed a bit of a shame to butcher it so much, but I reckon it's paid off in the end.

I could write a massive description of what I've done but I'm going to keep my waffling to a minimum for a change and get on with the pictograms. Enjoy!!

Anyone who wants to see the modifications I made can go to the WIP here.

Comments, criticism and anything else are all welcomed. Hope you guys like it though.

i have been toying with the idea of doing a custom custom, youve done a great job indeed and made me want to even more.

love the bandaged up exhaust.

what a great ride she would be !!!!!!!. I was at the beach last week when 3 smashing looking bikes pulled up all "street fighters " so i'm told . so my question is what would be the best kit to attempt such a transformation . Have lots of spare bike bits in my " need to use sooner or later " box .
