Yes I know there are fakes of any original car/bike that have been tried to be sold as the original but that is not going to happen here. Why? because I have always believed that there should only be ever 1 original, that way there is no way a replica (fake) can be passed off as the original. Now, right from the outset I have deliberately decided not to build an exact replica. Things have changed since the original was built and unfortunately some of the original bikes parts/build would not get past the inspectors today and to be honest that's not a bad thing. Thankfully they have approved the build (but not the actual bike yet) but I have to go through an approved engineer at each stage of the build. I was in 2 minds whether to do a build thread or not and to be honest I'm still not sure but I guess since I've started I may as well do it.Īnyway I wasn't going to build a replica if I couldn't register it so I had to get approval from our local Transport Dept before I even bought the first piece of tubing. Well in Feb this year (2019) I went to the 40th anniversary of the first Mad Max movie and the guy who bought the bike from me displayed it there for only the second time since he bought it (see photo below) and that was the incentive for me to get off my arse and build a replica. Įver since I sold it I have been talking about building a replica. Some of you already know but for those that don't I used to own the original Cyclotron outfit back in 1992. For the last 25 years I have been procrastinating about building a replica of the Cyclotron outfit that featured in the first Mad Max movie.
