Here's a pic of my just completed PK resto. I was trying to keep the look as late 70's, early 80's as possible.

Fluted "butterfly" bars

Mathauser finned brake pads
Weinmann 7b style rims

Took the shot outside to try and compete with Towne's Stroker shot in the Autumn leaves! It's still about 85 here in Miami, and I'm still mowing the grass once a week!

LOVE that color!!!
awesome PK!!

Wow the black box bars and seat post really works wth the tan color scheme. Gd work.

thats awesome !!!!! Im diggin the fluted bars,,,,, really nice work !!!

Supa sweet!

Very Sweet build I love that color I have a 81 corvette in that same color I always like that color for some reason Nice and classic look to it!!! I might have to paint my LOOP Tail Quad that color

NICE Greg!! You see alot of tan PKs in 1979/80 for some reason. Very vintage and correct for the era. That thing is perfect IMO. Well done, hope to see it at rockford maybe.

Nice use of Dura Ace!

I would commit a felony for those hubs! Great build, that's what it's all about right there!

Classy build. Every single part.

I love that tan. One of the best PK builds I have seen.

Man that thing is ABSOLUTELY KILLER!!! Your choice of parts and color combo is right on. Very nice.

I love it Greg...especially the hubs/cranks.

Great colors and right on with a Uniseat. Looks awesome!

Super Nice build! The tan/black color scheme makes the bike!

Very tastefully done, looks very classy.

sweets as PK , attention to detail !! immaculate

That color is a welcome change from the usual. A Riding buddy of mine in 1979 had the same color, brings it all back.

Those rims and hubs very era correct for high end trickerey (PK had the same hubs with 7C) in 1979.

Good job.

That thing needs to be in the 07 calender for sure.

How many PK Rippers must we see, one after another, they never stop.....I almost didn't open this thread.

I'm glad I did.

Best. Ripper. Ever.

A very cool bike indeed!

Love it. Nice job.

Very nice mate!

Another perfect build!

PK,
I'll try and get some more pictures posted this weekend. My digital camera wasn't taking too good of shots indoors, so I'm gonna try another camera. You and Bbohlmann should like my next project; a Looptail Quad. It's currently being worked on by Rod Miles, and it is next to go to the painter just as soon as i get it.

Greg

The whole bike is moto, but those hubs! Sweet!
