XS250 motorcycle build diary body filling

I stumbled across an image of one of these machines a while back but was unable to find the source or the builder of this machine. I finally tracked it down to being a gentleman by the name of Chicara …A Japanese native from Kyusyu Island, Chicara doesn't use any fancy machines to build these works of art, but simple hand tools.

I know this bike has been around for a while but there's nothing I love more than a good collaboration, Lennon McCartney did it, Hanna-Barberra teamed up, The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps joined forces, Bonnie and Clyde did …So when Fender and Triumph decided to get together this was the result. Built by the late Christian Clayton of , it's based around a 2009 Triumph Thruxton.
