little dave Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 ok, so, barkwindjammer suggested this idea to me. I put about 2 hours into it, and had a bunch of fun. thanks for the idea bark! later in time, around the turn of the century, steam power took over: (this one I worked for over 3 weeks on. over 25 different pieces went into this. it was for a competetion at a photoshop site that im part of, to make an everyday object look like it came from the steam era.I started with a pic of my dt175. the only thing that remains from the original pic is the tires and the front shocks which i colored to look copper, the kickstand and shifter. oh, and the pavement) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Dave, just wondering how you set up the valve timing on the old BF550 and also where do you keep one ? It cannot be the garage as this may fill with chemical formula SH1T ... it would be good to know Regards Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
