Re: whats yours called.

Hi,

Actually, it was here in this site some 3 years ago...

This bike was built by a father and son,
Gerry and Nophar Kuiper,
Which runs "Kuiper Customs" from a Kibbutz in Israel.
They are (Or at least Gerry, the father) originated from NL and are very nice and professional.

I understood that the family name come from cag manufacturing?...
He explained to me that it is the maker of the hoops or something.
I guess the Dutch here would know...

Anway,
This is their website, if someone is interested to see some restorations...

https://www.kuipercustoms.com

Some nice stuff there, including a 1947 Spiegel Cycle,
Which used many BSA M20 parts.
I think Nophar mentioned that the petrol tank is something they came up with,
As they did not have one with the bike.

Cheers,
Noam.

Re: whats yours called.

That's one of the very few customised M20s I've ever seen that I like.
I think the girder forked M20 is so very very good at being what it is that it's hard to change a lot & still retain credibility. The character lies elsewhere than gaudy chopperisation.

My M20's been in the household so long it's acquired a name by default- "The Beeza".

The name is similar to the English surname Cooper, which comes from Barrel (Keg) making as a cooper makes the whole barrel while a blacksmith makes the metal hoops.....
