So a coworker had been needing some money and had this to sell.
I had heard it run just three months ago so I know it wouldn't take much to get it going.
I bought it.
Now I am working out what exactly I want to do with this bike. I am a old school but modern-ish cafe racer lover and am definitely going to go that direction with it. Now, here is where you guys come in.
I am planning on using the passenger pegs to mount rearsets and do either clubman bars or clip ons. I want to either hammer some knee pockets into this tank or replace it with a cafe racer style tank. The seat and tail is very important too and I am pretty sure I have it picked out but want the opinions of the masses on that too. Also, what colors would be totally off the chain? I am thinking red frame and contrasting tins. Either black or flat black or maybe even white or cream.
I spent about four hours on it stripping everything down.
And I have lots of stock goodies to find new homes for now.
So here is your chance to let your creative juices flow and have your amazing idea put into reality. I plan on building this bike and showing it off for a while then selling it. That is primarily why I want the opinion of the public. What is hip and cool now so I can maximize my investment.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH THIS BUILD?
Thanks for the help and I will be updating this as the build goes along.
