Iv'e been lurkin on this site for a bit not sayin much so i decided i would finally show you guys my bike, still alot i wanna do to her but it gets me around for now, ask me anything ,let me know what you think.




not a good pic but i threw a chain on er


liscence plate bracket i made out of the side of a dumpster i swiped from the dump haha


the start of a seat to come made out of a door that i acquired from the dump haha   i want to throw a bit of padding on it but i dont want to raise my arse up much more been riding it like this all summer haha getting down that low changes the bike completely


mounted the rear signals where the passenger footrests used to be,


on the edge of the world


going to be re doing my rear fender situation soon as i get time away from work
i have one from a cb 900 that im goin to attach to the swingarm with some struts
thanks for checkin her out

Seriously! That turn signal location is awesome. So simple, I can't believe nobody had that idea already. Just don't know if it is legal.

Yep, it surely is a very creative location.  As for legalities, don't they differ depending on where ya are?  Up here in the wilds of Southern Ontario, vertical tag brackets are technically a no go, but I run one anyway, and so do a lot of folks I know.

Hey Finney, sweet ride man. I used an ol' Magna front fender on the back end with struts, so the CB should look killer.

How do ya like the Window bars?  It was a toss up for me between Windows, T-bars or my Frisco's. Settled on the Frisco's in the end, but I'm really diggin' the look you got goin' there.....

Edit:  If ya wanna keep the ride low, and have access to a welder, I'd suggest ya chop those seat horns off and fab up some different seat mounts. That's what I did, and it worked out pretty well.  Keeps me right in the bottom of the ditch, and let me put the seat I wanted on it.

I love how you make things from old stuff. And the turn signals in the rear, very cool.

I'm not a fan of ape hangers but that's just a personal preference! Very cool bike. Thanks for sharing.
