Hi , Thought you may like to see a few photo's of the Jawa r.t. i built a couple of year's back . This bike started out as a standard Jawa T.S. 350 from 1990 , But i was after something a bit more retro looking , At the same time it had to be Jawa , There are many changes to this bike ,some major ,some minor but detailed . The front end has been lowered by 40mm and the rear end raised by the same amount . With a one off hand made rear light unit and number plate bracket mounted on a Honda mudguard . Seat rail's modified and a one off seat base made up . Rear fender strut's made from tapered tube . And the internals of the original speedo tacho sprayed black and mounted on a one off mount together with home made l.e.d. warning lamps made from S/S 8mm button head bolts . The list goes on and on . But these are a few of the changes I've made to get the type of style i wanted . Hope you like . Terry P.S. You can see my vid's of this bike and my latest project at http://www.youtube.com/user/terence20001?feature=mhum

An amazing 6 cylinder JAWA. Wow!
Sam Simons sends in a really amazing bike that he came across on the net. What an amazing piece of work. Sam Writes:
Hi Steve, I found this unique example on a Czech website recently,what a piece of work. UK's Allan Millyard has done some impressive Kawasaki multis, but I think this engine overshadows Allan's work because of it's unusual design, and it's relative scarcity of numbers. To me,the major most challenge in building a multi is not adding the cylinders,but instead it's in finalizing the drive train so that the countershaft sprocket remains in proper alignment to the rear wheel. This is where builders have to extend and support the original output shaft, or resort to offsetting the engine or using a jackshaft somehow that mars the appearance of the finished bike. That's what impresses me most about this 6 cyl Jawa,it looks absolutely factory. The builder utilized the engine's left/right hand cylinder design to his advantage,too. Very Well Done!
Well done indeed!
