BIKE BUILD PORTFOLIO, a set on Flickr.

Here are some bikes we have done to give you a taster of what we do .

Mainly Streettrackers , cafe racers and Bobbers........
But we're open to persuasion !

We can build similar bikes for you , although we like everyone to be different and the customer to have plenty of input into the final finish .

Each of these bikes has it's own set on Flickr , so you can see what work and parts has gone into it .

Phone us at REDMAX if you would like us to build one with you !

OI NORTON U C@NTS , WHERE'S MY F@CKING BIKE .































TWO YEARS SINCE I ORDERED A NEW 961 NORTON , YEAR N HALF SINCE I PAID IN FULL (WHEN THEY SAID IT'S READY AT THE END OF THE MONTH !) STILL NO BIKE . NO REFUND EITHER - YET .

THIS MONTH I SUE THEIR ASSES ORF !

Ok , so it reminds me of some music (funnily enough ) as most things do .

Firstly Roy Chubby Browns best ever Christmas song .....

Oi Santa Claus you c.nt where's my fu.king bike?

I've unwrapped all this other junk And there's nothin that I like.

I wrote you a fu.king letterAnd I come to see you twice

You worn out geriatric fart you forgot my fu.kin bike

Mint , just insert "stuart Garner" instead of Santa and "Bullshitting letters" instead of junk and i think we have it in a nutshell .

Next up we have a couple of Sex Pistol numbers , The great rock n roll swindle LP because whilst playing it , i had It's a Swindle ringing in my ears for days ....

NORTON - it's a swindle.

Also from the "never mind the Bollocks LP , Liar .

Lie lie lie lie liar you lie lie lie lie

Tell me why tell me why

Why d'you have to lie

Should've realised that you

Should've told the truth

Should've realised

You know what I'll do

Reminds me of the Norton Sales team , plenty of lies , more lies and empty promises .

Finally the Cramps , "A date with Elvis " ,

because you're as likely to get a date with the King as get a bike from Norton !

(He's dead by the way ).

But also on this LP (we are talking Vylnil here) the song Kizmiaz ......

Take a magic carpet ride to the olden days

to a mythical land where everybody lays

around in the clouds in a happy daze

in Kizmiaz ..Kizmiaz

Yes that's Kiss my ass ! and i think that sums up my Norton buying experience in full .


Never mind the Bollocks , where's my bike ????

Ahh well , that's just my own opinion and how i feel right now .

I'm still gonna getta Norton and cut it up and make a Streettracker outta it - and i'm gonna call it "The Swindler" - now you know why .

PS - just after i paid for the bike i visited the "factory " at Donington , the engine building room was shut and nobody could find who had the key (really ?) ..... but i put my camera up to the window to get a pic of hundreds of Norton twin motors being made ..... and this pic is what i saw !

Yep , Five half built motors ...... i got a leg up (and more photos ) that was it not much on the shelves and definatley not enought to build 5 motors up !


So i guess , they have supplier difficulties and cash flow problems (which gives you suppliers problems - they don't like non-payers !) as i had expected , but they are still taking peoples money for something they can't supply .... anyone wanna put a word on that ?

Yea we all know what it is ,

The greatest rock n roll Swindle ....

Lots of feedback , fade out singer , wipe up spit from floor and Kizmiaz .

SJ'S 840 STREETSCRAMBLER - FINISHED !








Pipes by Co-built

Paint by Altamura

Build by Redmax

Special parts Dirtylanesussex

tank/seat/bars/etc Redmax
















The HAMAMATSU HOTROD !




We showed Steve's new 840 at the Ace this weekend and MCN jumped straight on it for a feature ! The bike has been a labour of love here and we could'nt wait to show it off to everyone . Steve (who supplies Yam spares - dirtylanesussex.co.uk ) rode it in fron Sussex and reported nifty performance from his 840cc big bore motor combined with snappy handling from the lightweight bike - his smile said it all !



This Yam has an 840 cc motor , with H/C pistons mild cam , balancing /porting work , performance stainless pipes and dell'orto pumper carbs.


Vintage Yam DT360 tank , Bultaco Astro redmax seat , Redmax Flattrack bars , Tarozzi rearsets , Koso digi dash , R6 forks and four piston calipers , Mag wheels and Tracker tyres and a very funky paintjob complete the picture .


Steve was intimately involved with the build putting a lot of his heart into finding the right parts and desighning the paint , and it shows . Glenn here in the Redmax workshop conspiring to come up with some real neat signature items across the bike (rear lamp , chain gaurd , heat shields etc ). Credit where it's due .


An enjoyable build - we're looking forwards to Steve's next XS .... will it be a cafe racer or a bobber ?? ... keep tuned .
